Career
Gibb started out as a Hawthorn player when that club was still a member of the Amateur competition. He played nine games with Collingwood before transferring to Richmond where he had the solitary game. After World War I, Gibb was appointed captain of Hawthorn (by this time in the VFA), and proceeded to be the club leading goalkicker for the 1919 season.
