Crewe Alexandra snap up former Bradford City winger Jordan Gibson after Doncaster Rovers release
Jordan Gibson finds new club after being released by Doncaster Rovers
Jordan Gibson has been snapped up by Crewe Alexandra after being released by Doncaster Rovers.
The 28-year-old winger, who started his professional career at Bradford City, was part of Doncaster’s League Two title-winning squad last year.
However, his importance to manager Grant McCann waned following the South Yorkshire club’s ascent to League One.
He was released at the end of the 2025/26 season and has now dropped back into the fourth tier, penning a four-year deal at Crewe. The Railwaymen finished 11th in the League Two table last season.

A club statement read: “Crewe Alexandra are delighted to confirm the signing of Jordan Gibson. The creative wide attacker has signed a three-year deal, with the option of a further 12 months, to become Lee Bell’s first summer capture.
“The 28-year-old spent the previous two years with Doncaster Rovers, where he won promotion from League Two in 2024/25, and scored 12 goals in 103 appearances.
“Before that, he inspired Carlisle United to rise from the fourth tier during three years in Cumbria. Gibson started out as a youth with Glasgow Rangers, and has also enjoyed spells at Bradford City and with St Patrick’s and Sligo Rovers in Ireland
“Everybody at Crewe Alexandra would like to welcome Jordan and wish him luck during his time at Mornflake Stadium.”
