Originally invited to the 2014 Major League Soccer Combine, Gibson was projected as a second round pick due to his vision and work ethic.[2] He was signed as a rookie to the Scorpions leading into the 2015 NASL season.[3] He quickly received playing time during the 2015 NASL Spring Season and ended the year starting 22 matches.

The Scorpions suspended operations following the 2015 NASL season and Gibson signed with expansion side Rayo OKC on January 26, 2016.[4]

On November 21, 2017, Gibson joined FC Cincinnati of the United Soccer League.[5]

After two seasons in the USL Championship with Indy Eleven, Gibson made the move to Louisville City on December 14, 2020, ahead of the upcoming 2021 season.[6]

On January 29, 2024, Indy Eleven announced Gibson's return to his former club ahead of the 2024 USL Championship season.[7]

Gibson captained Indy Eleven on his second debut for the club, a 2–1 defeat at Oakland Roots SC on March 9, 2024.[8] He scored his first goal in his second time with the Indianapolis-based club on July 5, in a 3–3 away draw against Rhode Island FC in the USL Championship.[9]
