Biography
[edit]Chad Gibson is from Sydney, Australia, with parents of South African origin who migrated to Australia during Apartheid due to racial policies, which legally forbid their relationship.[citation needed] Gibson is an ex-professional footballer who is a versatile player having played professionally from defence to the mid-field.[citation needed] He began his professional career with Sydney United, who played in the now defunct National Soccer League. After moving to Marconi Stallions, he played a season for Johor FC in Malaysia and another season with FK Bodø/Glimt in Norway, before returning to Australia to play for Marconi Stallions. He joined the Queensland Roar as the club's first ever captain, and a face of the A-League, appearing heavily in the A-League advertisement campaign. In 2006, Gibson retired from professional football after two seasons of the A-League and a career that spanned over 12 years and over 200 professional games.[citation needed]
The former A-League Captain continued to play for one season in the division below the A-League, where he won the NSW Premier League Championship in 2007 with Blacktown City Demons where he scored the match winning goal in his final official game. In 2008 he joined NSW State League Division 1 side, Stanmore Hawks.[2] He returned to playing park football with various clubs and later signed on for Joeys FC United[3] in the New England Mutual Premier League in a mentoring role to the young team,[4] giving back to rural Australian football.[5] Gibson now plays again for his first ever junior club, Belmore Eagles, alongside his father on the pitch, as recently reported by Football NSW.[6]
Gibson is currently a Creative Director and Sports Photographer.[7]
