Gibb played most of his football as a wingman and started his career at Richmond, who at that stage were participating in the VFA.[2] He transferred to Collingwood in 1905[3] and was member of their 1910 premiership team as well as being a losing Grand Finalist in 1905 and 1911. A Victorian interstate football representative, Gibb retired in 1914 but remained at Collingwood as a committeeman.
