James Andrew Gibbons (born 16 March 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays as a full-back for EFL League Two club Cambridge United.
A graduate of the Port Vale youth team, he enjoyed a short loan spell at Leek Town in the 2016–17 season and made his first-team debut at Vale Park in December 2016. He established himself in the first team during the 2017–18 season, and though he found himself frequently overlooked the following season, he managed to regain his first-team place during the 2019–20 campaign. He helped the club to win promotion out of League Two via the play-offs in 2022, before signing with Bristol Rovers in June 2022. He spent the second half of the 2023–24 season on loan at Cambridge United, after which he joined the club permanently.
