Kieran James Ricardo Gibbs (born 26 September 1989) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Premier League club Arsenal and the England national team. He began his senior career with Arsenal in 2007, after joining the club from the Wimbledon academy in 2004.
Gibbs began as a winger, moving to left back after a loan spell with Norwich City in the 2007–08 season – the same season that saw him make his Arsenal debut. He made his full England debut in a friendly against Hungary at Wembley Stadium on 11 August 2010.
After beginning his career at the Wimbledon academy, Gibbs moved to Arsenal along with Abu Ogogo and James Dunne when Wimbledon disbanded in 2004 and became Milton Keynes Dons. Gibbs played as a left winger and also in the centre midfield position. He featured regularly for Arsenal's youth and reserve teams.
In September 2007, Gibbs signed a professional contract with Arsenal, and was named in the club's UEFA Champions League squad. He made his first-team debut for the club when he started a League Cup match against Sheffield United on 31 October 2007, and made his second appearance coming on as a substitute for Eduardo da Silva in Arsenal's quarter-final against Blackburn Rovers on 18 December 2007.
