I’m Caley Gibb a full back currently for Hibernian Women playing in the SWPL.

I think playing in so many positions has definitely helped me to understand the game a bit more and understanding what other players around me want when delivering a ball into the box or playing a pass. It allows me to be able to fit into lots of formations and can also mean if we have injuries then I am able to adapt into another position to do the best for the team.

I remember talking to my mum in the car on the way to the game and telling her I wasn’t going to get my hopes up and I didn’t expect to get on. When Grant said my name and told me to go warm up I was so excited. My friends and family had come to watch in case so I was so proud and grateful. It feels like a life time ago now but it was such an amazing day and integral part in my career.

I think playing at both these clubs taught me so much. Most importantly that you get nowhere without hard work and dedication. I think both clubs taught me that even in the tough times it is all worth it, missing nights out with friends or key family events to train might seem tough at the time but looking at where all that has got me now it was all worth it. Spartans definitely taught me how to be myself and build relationships with people and that helped me going into my time at Thistle.
