Alex Gilbert

Alex Gilbert was born in Birmingham, England on 28 December 2001 (age 24).

Alex Gilbert, born on 28 December 2001 (age 24), is a Republic of Ireland winger whose senior career has been shaped mainly at Middlesbrough. A left-sided attacker, he has made 40 league appearances for the club across three seasons, scoring three goals.

His strongest run came in the 2023-24 season, when he made 12 league appearances and scored once. That is the spell which gives most shape to his profile: a developing professional trying to turn involvement at Middlesbrough into something more settled.

Gilbert’s career to this point is a Middlesbrough story above all else. The record is modest but clear enough – regular first-team exposure over three seasons, with his work coming primarily from the left flank.

Alex Gilbert’s listed career path was short and unsettled, with Brentford, Swindon Town, Middlesbrough and Charlton Athletic all featuring in the sequence. The Republic of Ireland left winger’s later records each included one goal across 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26, while the club trail pointed to a player moving through loan and squad-depth routes rather than establishing one long-term spell.

Gilbert’s transfer history was low-cost and short-term: a return from loan at Swindon Town to Brentford in 2022, a free transfer to Middlesbrough in 2023, a loan from Middlesbrough to Charlton Athletic in February 2025, a return to Middlesbrough in June 2025, and release in June 2026. The pattern suggested opportunity-seeking moves rather than fee-driven progression.
