Career

Born in Birmingham, Gibson played youth football with Rangers, joining the Scottish club in June 2015. After being released, he went on trial with Bradford City, signing a one-year contract with the club in August 2017. He made his professional debut on 29 August 2017, in a Football League Trophy game, and started to be considered part of the first team squad in November 2017. The next month he stated that he wished his break into the first team. He scored his first goal for Bradford in a 2–1 loss against Oldham Athletic on 3 February 2018.
In May 2018 he signed a new two-year contract with Bradford City. Later that month he criticised comments made about him by former City manager Simon Grayson.
In September 2018 he stated that he wished to play more first-team football, and also praised young teammates Eliot Goldthorp and Reece Staunton.
In January 2019 he was linked with a loan move to Stevenage. The deal was completed on transfer deadline day, 31 January 2019. 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. After starting the first game of the season, Gibson said that his self-belief had been encouraged by Bowyer. Gibson missed City's first victory of the season due to a hamstring injury, and remained injured into October 2019. By early December he was nearing fitness.
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.
In July 2020 he signed for Irish club St Patrick's Athletic. Gibson made his debut on the 31st July 2020 in a 1–1 draw away to champions Dundalk at Oriel Park.
