Gosling made his Torquay debut as a half-time substitute for Martin Phillips as Torquay lost 1–0 at home to Barnsley [12] and started, and scored in, the 1–1 draw away to Chesterfield the following week. [13] He lost his place after Torquay's 1–1 draw away to Huddersfield Town on 8 January 2005, a game in which Gosling was replaced early in the second half by Matthew Hockley, [14] and was released in February 2005. [15]

In August 2005 Gosling joined Forest Green Rovers, [17] but was released in November 2005. [18]

[19] In May 2007, his initial one-year contract with Hungerford was extended by a further year. [20] At Hungerford, Gosling played with future England striker Charlie Austin.

He rejoined Bath City in June 2008 [21] but left again in November 2008 rejoining former club Hungerford Town. In 2009, Gosling moved to Belgium for a short period, playing at RRFC Montegnée.
