A left winger or forward, Gilbert began his career in the West Bromwich Albion Academy at U9 level and progressed to sign a two-year scholarship deal in 2018.[3] He was offered a professional contract at the end of the 2019–20 season, but declined to sign it and departed The Hawthorns.[4]


Brentford


On 29 September 2020, Gilbert transferred to the B team at Championship club Brentford on a two-year contract, with the option of a further year,[5] on a free transfer.[6] Gilbert was an unused substitute during 9 first team league matches between December 2020 and March 2021 and made two FA Cup appearances.[7] He was not involved during Brentford's successful 2021 playoff campaign and finished the 2020–21 B team season with 10 goals from 22 appearances.[7][8][9]

Gilbert was involved with the first team squad during the 2021–22 pre-season and on transfer deadline day August 2021, he joined League Two club Swindon Town on loan until the end of the 2021–22 season.[9] He made 12 appearances prior to the termination of the loan on 4 January 2022.[10] Gilbert played the second half of the 2021–22 season with the B team,[10] with whom he won the London Senior Cup.[11]

The one-year option on Gilbert's contract was taken up at the end of the 2021–22 season and he captained the B team early in the campaign.[12][13] On 8 November 2022, Gilbert won his first senior call-up for nearly two years, for an EFL Cup third round match versus Gillingham and he remained an unused substitute during the shoot-out defeat.[7] Gilbert was included in the first team squad for its mid-season training camp in Girona and scored in a 2–1 friendly defeat to Bordeaux.[14]
