Career

Early career

Born in Birmingham, [2] Gibson played youth football with Rangers, joining the Scottish club in June 2015. [3]

Bradford City

After being released by Rangers, he went on trial with Bradford City, signing a one-year contract with the club in August 2017. [4] He made his professional debut on 29 August 2017, in a Football League Trophy game, [5] and started to be considered part of the first team squad in November 2017. [6] The next month he stated that he wished his break into the first team. [7] He scored his first goal for Bradford in a 2–1 loss against Oldham Athletic on 3 February 2018. [5]

In May 2018 he signed a new two-year contract with Bradford City. [8] Later that month he criticised comments made about him by former City manager Simon Grayson. [9]

In September 2018 he stated that he wished to play more first-team football, [10] and also praised young teammates Eliot Goldthorp and Reece Staunton. [11]

In January 2019 he was linked with a loan move to EFL League Two side Stevenage. [12] The deal was completed on transfer deadline day, 31 January 2019. [13] Gibson scored on his final game for the club, a 2–0 win over Cheltenham Town on the final day of the season, as Stevenage missed out on a play-off spot. [14]

After his loan deal ended and he returned to Bradford City, new manager Gary Bowyer confirmed that he was in his first-team plans for the 2019–20 season. [15] After starting the first game of the season, Gibson said that his self-belief had been encouraged by Bowyer. [16] Gibson missed City's first victory of the season due to a hamstring injury, [17] and remained injured into October 2019. [18] By early December he was nearing fitness. [19]

On 26 May 2020 it was announced that he was one of 10 players who would leave Bradford City when their contract expired on 30 June 2020. [20] During his time with Bradford City he made 11 starts, appearing for six different managers. [21]

St Patrick's Athletic

In July 2020 he signed for Irish club St Patrick's Athletic. [22] Gibson made his debut on 31 July 2020 in a 1–1 draw away to champions Dundalk at Oriel Park. [23] On 3 October 2020, Gibson scored his first goal for the club, netting what turned out to be the winning goal in a 2–1 win away to Cork City at Turners Cross. [24] He scored in what turned out to be the last of his 15 appearances for the club, opening the scoring in a 2–1 loss at home to Dublin rivals Bohemians on 9 November 2020 as his side missed out on European football on the last day of the season. [25]

Sligo Rovers

On 4 January 2021 it was announced that Gibson had signed for fellow League of Ireland Premier Division club Sligo Rovers. [26] [27] He scored his first goal for the club in his second appearance, away to Waterford on 26 March 2021, setting up the equalizer for Romeo Parkes before going on to score a spectacular winner in the 53rd minute. [28]

Carlisle United

He returned to England on 30 August 2021, signing with Carlisle United. [29] Gibson scored his first goal for the club on 18 September, against Scunthorpe United in a 2–2 draw. [30]

On 7 October 2023, Gibson scored a hat-trick in a 3–1 win over Bolton Wanderers. [31] Following relegation in the 2023–24 season, he was released by the club at the end of the season. [32]

Doncaster Rovers

In May 2024 it was announced that he would sign for Doncaster Rovers on 1 July 2024. [33]
