He previously played for the Wests Tigers with whom he won the 2005 NRL Premiership, and for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks of the National Rugby League (NRL).

Born in Camden, New South Wales, Gibbs played junior football with the Leumeah Wolves and Macquarie Fields Hawks before being signed by the Wests Tigers.
Gibbs made his NRL debut against Penrith in August 2003, scoring a try with his first touch of the ball. "I came off the bench for the Tigers against Penrith at Penrith. I got the ball and scored and thought ‘how good’s this’," Gibbs later said.
In 2004 Gibbs was suspended for five matches following an incident in which he made contact with Brisbane Broncos five-eighth Casey McGuire.
Gibbs scored a try in the Wests Tigers' victory in the 2005 NRL Grand Final, but never scored another for the club. As NRL Premiers Wests faced Super League champions Bradford Bulls in the 2006 World Club Challenge. Gibbs played from the interchange bench in the Tigers' 30-10 loss.

A fractured kneecap saw Gibbs playing injured throughout the semis in 2010. He was unable to play in the early rounds of the next season. Around the same time, he signed a contract to remain with the Wests Tigers until the end of the 2014 season. However, by the middle of 2011, Wests Tigers had released Gibbs in order to make room for Adam Blair, and he signed a three year contract with the Cronulla Sharks from the start of 2012.
