Kevin Gibbens (born November 4, 1979 in Southampton ) is an English football player . Gibbens played as a professional for Southampton FC from 1998 to 2002 and came to nine appearances in the Premier League during this time .

Career

Gibbens was active in the youth field of Southampton FC and received his first professional contract in January 1998 after convincing performances in the reserve team. The midfielder made his Premier League debut alongside players like Matt Le Tissier , Carlton Palmer and David Hirst on April 25, 1998 when he started in a 4-2 away win against West Ham United . Also at the beginning of the 1998/99 season , Gibbens was deployed several times before he was out for half a year from September due to a groin injury and the following operation and was only able to return to the reserve team in March 1999. Together with his teammate Gary Monk , Gibbens was given a month's loan to the second division Stockport County in September , for which he was used in four competitive games. Persistent injury problems threw Gibbens back in the following years and he last came to some Premier League appearances in the winter of 2000. In the spring of 2002 he was finally released from his contract and moved to Oxford United in March 2002 on a free transfer to the Third Division , but did not play there until the end of the season and then continued his career in non-league football .

First station there was Basingstoke Town under coach Ernie Howe , for the club he was active for one season as a regular player in the Isthmian League . He then played for the 2003/04 season in the Southern League at Eastleigh Town , who had to make a compensation payment of £ 2,000 to Basingstoke for Gibbens. Different views on his "lifestyle" ensured his dismissal at Eastleigh in January 2004 and Gibbens continued his playing career from summer 2004 at FC VT in the Wessex League . At VT Gibbens took over the captaincy and rose with the club in 2009 in the Southern League Division One. In 2010 and 2011 he missed promotion to the Premier Division of the Southern League in the play-offs with the club, which was renamed FC Sholing in the summer of 2010 . In 2012 he left Sholing after eight years and returned to the Wessex League with his move to Blackfield & Langley . With Blackfield Gibbens won the 2013 Wessex League championship, and in December 2013 he was the club's player-coach until the end of the season. In 2015 he moved to Andover Town within the league .
