Domestic career[]

Gibson made her county debut in 2014, for Gloucestershire against Oxfordshire. She scored a duck and did not bowl.[3] The following season, she hit her List A high score, scoring 73 in a victory over Buckinghamshire, and took 3/17 in the same match.[4] In the 2016 Women's County Championship, she was Gloucestershire's leading wicket-taker, with 13 wickets at an average of 9.69, with a best of 4/9 from 7 overs against Norfolk.[5][6] She had another strong season in 2017, especially with the ball, and took her maiden county five-for, 5/17, against Cornwall.[7][8]

Gibson moved to Wales ahead of the 2018 season, and was their joint-leading wicket-taker in the 2018 Women's Twenty20 Cup, with 9 wickets.[9] In 2019, she hit her first half-century for her new side, scoring 57 in a victory over Essex.[10]

Gibson was also in the Western Storm squad in the Women's Cricket Super League between 2017 and 2019. Whilst she did not play a match in 2017, in 2018 she was ever-present as her side reached the semi-final. She took 5 wickets at an average of 27.20.[11] She only appeared in one match in 2019 due to injury.[12]

In 2020, Gibson continued to play for Western Storm in the 2020 Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She appeared in one match, scoring 33* in a victory over Sunrisers.[13] In December 2020, it was announced that Gibson was one of the 41 female cricketers that had signed a full-time domestic contract.[14] She has also signed to play for London Spirit in The Hundred.[15]

Gibson has also played for various England Academy and Development teams, beginning in 2014.[16]
