Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gibson.
Judged on this season alone, Gibson graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two, on 3 clean sheets and 4.705 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 46th of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two. At 29 Gibson is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

- Defensive volume. 4.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role.
