Playing career
Gibbons won three Donegal Senior Football Championships with his club: in 2009, 2012 and 2014.
He made a substitute appearance during the 2009 final, replacing Cillian Morrison.[3] He started the final of the 2012 Donegal Senior Football Championship before being replaced in the second half.[4]
Gibbons scored 0–2 in the final of the 2014 Donegal Senior Football Championship, including a crucial point that meant his team led at the break.[5][6] The Irish Times described him as his team's "sharpest forward" in that game.[7]
He scored a late point for Donegal to win a game in the 2013 Dr McKenna Cup, the team's first victory of the 2013 season.[8]
Under the management of Rory Gallagher, Gibbons made a substitute appearance for his county against Kerry in the 2017 National Football League. He scored 0–1.[9] He was named to start his first league game for his county in the following fixture against Roscommon.[1][10] However, it was as a substitute that he ultimately appeared in that game.[11]
