During that season Gribbin was scouted by Liverpool and Manchester City. Gribbin signed a new four year deal with the club in the summer of 2015. This is a one year scholarship with a three year professional contract.In the 2015/16 season Gribbin made his Under 19 debut in the UEFA Youth League and was praised for his performance against VfL Wolfsburg with Nicky Butt describing him as having a "light bulb moment".[3] [4]

At the end of his Manchester United contract Gribbin signed for Sheffield United in 2019 and featured for their Under 23 team. Gribbin left the club the following summer.
