Club career

Coombes began his career with cousin Lee at Europa, playing for them in their first season in the UEFA Europa League. Despite attracting the attention of several clubs from England and France, Coombes opted to sign for Manchester 62 in 2015, scoring four goals in an ultimately unsuccessful season at the club. He left in summer 2016 to study in Cardiff, and in February 2017 signed for Welsh Football League Division One team Undy Athletic while continuing his studies. On 17 August 2017, he signed for Lincoln Red Imps, and was immediately loaned back to Undy for the coming season. After a stop-start season plagued by injury, he scored his first Undy goal on 16 December, the winner in a 3–2 victory against Pen-y-Bont.

In August 2018, he moved to West Didsbury & Chorlton, joining up with compatriot Jack Sergeant, [1] with whom he shared a house in Hulme while studying business management at Manchester Metropolitan University. [2] Although he signed in August, he did not receive clearance until October. [3] He scored his first goal for West on 15 December 2018, at Whitchurch Alport to give his side the lead in a 2–0 win. [4] He re-joined Lincoln Red Imps on 20 June 2019. [5] He scored his first goal for the club in an 8–0 win over a depleted Glacis United side on 22 August. [6]

In summer 2021 he signed for Bruno's Magpies, scoring his first goal on 20 November, the decisive goal in a 3–2 win over Lions Gibraltar. [7] However, he left the club in January 2024 to pursue opportunities outside Gibraltar.

International career

Coombes was first called up to the Gibraltar senior team in May 2015 for matches against Croatia and Germany. [8] He made his international début with Gibraltar on 7 June 2015 in a 4–0 loss to Croatia. He returned to the senior team in March 2017 against Bosnia, yet did not play, however he remained in the squad in June 2017 against Cyprus, while simultaneously receiving his first call up for the newly formed Gibraltar national under-21 football team.
