Career

Gibbs made his senior A-League debut as a substitute for Sydney FC in the 2010 Grand Final against the Melbourne Victory. He was the youngest player to play in an A-League grand final.[1] It was reported that he had signed for Olympic Charleroi in the Belgian Third Division B.[2]

After his stint in Belgium, Gibbs returned to Australia where he signed with his former NSW Premier League club Manly United for the 2011 season.[3]

On 3 October 2012, just three days before their first match of the season, Gibbs signed a one-year deal with new A-League club Western Sydney Wanderers.[5] He was released by the Wanderers along with Dino Kresinger, Tarek Elrich, and Rocky Visconte at the conclusion of the 2012–13 A-League season.[6][7]

On 13 May 2013, Gibbs signed with the Newcastle Jets for the 2013/14 season. In his debut for the Newcastle Jets, he came on in the 88th minute and his first touch was a goal.

In early 2014, he joined APIA Leichhardt in the National Premier Leagues NSW, before making a move to Hong Kong Premier League side Tai Po FC.
