Gibbon was born in Chester, and worked on construction sites as a builder. He began to play cricket in 2018.[3] In September 2021, Gibbon signed his first professional contract, with a two-year deal with Worcestershire.[4] Prior to signing his contract, he had already played for Worcestershire in the Second XI Championship.[5] A month before signing his contract,[6] he took a five-wicket haul for Cheshire against Wiltshire in the 2021 National Counties Championship at Moss Lane, Alderley Edge.[7][8] Paul Pridgeon, Worcestershire's Steering Group Chairman said that Gibbon has "a lot of potential" and that he "brings something different to our group of bowlers".[9]

Gibbon made his first-class debut on 5 May 2022, for Worcestershire against Durham in the 2022 County Championship.[10] In the first innings of the match, he took two wickets, included that of Scott Borthwick, the captain of Durham.[10] Two months before his debut, Gibbon said that he would "like to break into the first team" and that his "ambition is to be a professional".[11]
