Career

edit

Arsenal

edit

Gilbert was born in Willesden, London,[1] and until the 2005–06 season he usually played in Arsenal's youth and reserve teams. However, after injuries to various members of Arsenal's defence, Gilbert was drafted in as cover. He made his first team debut on 29 November 2005 against Reading in the League Cup,[2] and on 7 December he played in a UEFA Champions League match against Ajax Amsterdam, coming on as a substitute at left back for the injured Lauren.[3]

With Arsenal's injury problems continuing, he started in Arsenal's FA Cup win over Cardiff City on 7 January 2006,[4] in which he was noted for his pace, which was the start of a six-match run of appearances. He made his Premier League debut on 21 January 2006 in a 1–0 away loss at Everton.[5]

On 21 July 2006, Gilbert was loaned to Championship team Cardiff City for the 2006–07 season.[6]

He joined Southend United on a six-month loan deal on 30 July 2007.[7] He made six appearances for Southend before falling out of favour with manager Steve Tilson. He returned to Arsenal on 3 January 2008.[8]

On 10 July 2008, Gilbert joined Leicester City on a season-long loan deal for 2008–09.[9] He scored his first league goal for Leicester in a 1–1 draw with Stockport County.[10]

On 15 January 2010, Gilbert joined Championship side Peterborough United on loan until the end of the season.[citation needed]

Portland Timbers

edit

On 13 December 2010, Gilbert signed with the Portland Timbers, of Major League Soccer;[11] however, as of March 2011, visa issues prohibited him from obtaining a work permit in the United States and his future with the club remained in question.[12] The Timbers announced on 18 March 2011 that Gilbert's P-1 visa had been denied and that they had given up trying to bring the defender to Portland.[13]

Yeovil Town

edit

Gilbert was offered a 6-month deal at Football League One side, Yeovil Town, after impressing manager Terry Skiverton during pre-season, despite only appearing once in this time. Gilbert's signing came after a long period of time due to the contract confusions with Portland Timbers. Gilbert made his first League appearance for the Glovers on 13 August, during their 3–1 victory over Oldham Athletic, in which Gilbert played 76 minutes before being substituted off. Gilbert was released at the end of his contract in January 2012 after 9 matches for Yeovil Town.[14]

Later career

edit

On 1 February 2012, Gilbert signed for League of Ireland champions Shamrock Rovers for the 2012 season.[15]

On 21 March 2013, he signed for Conference South side Maidenhead United along with ex-QPR trainee Romone Rose.[16]

Gilbert signed for St Albans City on 10 January 2014,[17] and helped them earn promotion to Conference South, though he wasn't involved in the club's successful playoff campaign.[18][19] He left the Saints by mutual consent at the end of the season.[20]

International career

edit

Gilbert made six appearances for the England under-16 side between 2002 and 2003, scoring once. He featured in the Victory Shield, Walkers International Tournament and in the Tournoi de Montaigu.[21] He made five appearances for the England under-17 side between 2003 and 2004, playing in the Pepsi International Tournament and the 2004 UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualifiers.
