Darron Thomas Daniel Gibson (born 25 October 1987) is an Irish professional footballer from Derry, Northern Ireland, who plays as a midfielder for the Republic of Ireland national team. He began his club career with Institute before joining Manchester United, for whom he made his professional debut in 2005.
After loans with Belgium's Royal Antwerp and the Championship's Wolverhampton Wanderers, he won two League Cups, a Premier League title and the FIFA Club World Cup for United, totalling 60 games and 10 goals.
In January 2012, he joined Everton for an undisclosed fee, where his appearances were limited from 2013 due to injury.
He signed for Sunderland in January 2017, and left by mutual consent in March 2018. In 2007, Gibson, who was born and raised in Derry, Northern Ireland, was at the centre of a dispute between the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) and the Irish Football Association (IFA), after he opted to play for the Republic of Ireland instead of Northern Ireland.
The issue was referred to FIFA and was discussed in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
The issue was settled in 2010 when it was declared that Northern Ireland-born people are entitled to play for either the Republic or Northern Ireland.
Gibson represented the Republic of Ireland at UEFA Euro 2012.
