With nine appearances for the Under 21s this season, the youngster has managed to get on the scoresheet once and is winning rave reviews from within the youth team setup. Standing over 6ft-tall, Gibson also offers an aerial presence in both boxes, which is something the Magpies have sorely lacked this term.
