John Mark Gibson (born 31 January 1989) is a Scottish footballer goalkeeper, currently playing for Scottish League Two side Clyde.
Gibson has previously played for Dundee and Alloa Athletic, whilst also having been on loan to a number of clubs, including three separate spells with Elgin City.
Club career
Gibson began his career as a youth player for Dundee United before he signed a one-year contract with the club in March 2007.[2] The following year, in May 2008, Gibson signed another one-year contract with the club.[3]
Shortly signing a new contract with Dundee United, he was loaned out to Forfar Athletic to gain first team experience.[4] After four months at the club, his loan spell with Forfar Athletic was extended until the end of the season.[5] He was released by Dundee United in 2009 having failed to make a first team appearance for the club.[6]
Dundee
Gibson signed for city rivals Dundee on a one-year deal in 2009 and was loaned out to Elgin City.[7] His form earned him a new contract extension.[8] After a further loan spell at Sligo Rovers[9] he made his debut for Dundee on the last day of the 2010–11 season against Queen of the South.[10] He signed a further one-year contract extension in May 2011.[11]
Ahead of the 2012–13 season, Gibson signed for Elgin City on loan for a second time.[12] In January 2013, he went out on loan again, this time to Montrose.[13] Upon returning to Dundee, Gibson signed a new contract with the club.[14]
On 28 March 2014, Gibson joined Elgin City on loan for a third time, signing until the end of the 2013–14 season.[15]
On 12 May 2014, Dundee announced Gibson would be leaving the club at the end of his contract.[16]
Alloa Athletic
After being released by Dundee, Gibson was announced as one of three new signings by Elgin City,[17] however on 27 May 2014, Elgin manager Barry Wilson said that Gibson had changed his mind and wouldn't be signing for Elgin with reports suggesting he had agreed a move to Airdrieonians.[18] On 31 May 2014, Alloa Athletic confirmed that they had completed the signing of Gibson.[19] Gibson finished the 2014–15 season as Alloa's first choice goalkeeper.[20] He played in the end of season relegation play-offs in the Scottish Championship as Alloa avoided the drop defeating both Brechin City and then Forfar Athletic over two legs. Gibson kept a clean sheet in 2–0 semi final first leg win at Brechin City.[21] Gibson later shutout Forfar Athletic in the 3–0 play-off final second leg victory, as Alloa recovered from a 3–1 deficit in the first leg to survive relegation.[22] Gibson made 17 appearances in all competitions for Alloa.[20]
Clyde
Clyde announced they had signed Gibson on 23 May 2015. He was already their eighth summer signing.[20]
International career
Gibson represented Scotland under-19's in an international challenge match in 2007.[23]
