William Michael Hubert "Billy" Gibson (born 30 September 1990) is an English footballer who is currently playing for Wealdstone having most recently played for Conference National side Cambridge United as a right midfielder in the 2012/13 season. He started his career at Watford before moving onto Yeovil Town and has had loan spells at Wealdstone and Braintree Town.
Gibson began a two-year academy scholarship with Watford in summer 2007. In 2007–08 he made 26 appearances for the under 18s, all of which were starts and making him the highest appearance maker for the Academy that season. He also scored three goals. He also made 12 appearances for the reserves, six of them starts, scoring three goals.
After appearing for Watford's first team during the 2008 pre-season, on 12 August 2008 he made his competitive debut whilst still an academy scholar. Part of a weakened side for the League Cup, Gibson came on as a 60th-minute substitute for Jon Harley. Playing on the left-wing, he set up Will Hoskins for the only goal of the game as Watford beat League One side Bristol Rovers.
In October 2008, along with Rob Kiernan and Ross Jenkins, Gibson signed a developmental contract, keeping him with Watford until the end of the 2009–10 season. A professional contract, it allowed the players to continue their scholarship without the pressure of worrying about their future. Although he did not appear again for the first team that season, he played 5 games for the reserves and made 10 starts for the Academy, scoring 4 goals.
