THERE was a deserved contract extension for Plymouth Argyle captain Joe Edwards earlier this month. Now they should be looking to tie up a new deal for another of their key players.

Gibson must be next to get a new deal at Home Park

Defender Lewis Gibson has put in some excellent performances for the Pilgrims at the start of this season, just as he did for them throughout an eventful and at times turbulent 2023/24 Championship campaign when the phrase 'When the going gets tough, the tough get going' very much applied to him.

Gibson has just been so consistent and rarely puts a foot wrong ever since he joined Argyle in July 2023 after rejecting the chance to sign a new contract at Premier League club Everton because he wanted regular first team football.

Part of the England team which won the Under-17 World Cup in 2017, Gibson had not broken through at Everton and instead had loan spells at Fleetwood Town, Reading, Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol Rovers.

At the time of his move to Argyle, no mention was made by the Home Park club of the length of contract Gibson had signed with them but is likely to have been either for two years plus a 12-month option or for three seasons, which would take him through until the summer of 2026.
