Club career

Having joined Manchester United's academy from a young age, Gribbin plays for the under 18's and received praise by various newspapers.[2] in the 2014/15 season scoring a free kick, which led to him being compared to Ryan Giggs.[2] In the final game of that season Gribbin made his under 21's debut against Manchester City when he was 16 years old. During that season Gribbin was scouted by Liverpool and Manchester City. Gribbin signed a new four year deal with the club in the summer of 2015. This is a one year scholarship with a three year professional contract.In the 2015/16 season Gribbin made his Under 19 debut in the UEFA Youth League and was praised for his performance against VfL Wolfsburg with Nicky Butt describing him as having a "light bulb moment".[3] A clause in his contract will make him a professional footballer in the 2016-2017 season.[4]

He moved to Barrow in August 2020.[5]

Gribbin has represented England at under-16 and under-17 levels.[6]
