Manchester United player Dar­ron Gib­son has signed for Ever­ton for a bar­gain £500,000. A whole-hearted foot­baller with a tre­mend­ous work rate, the 24-year-old Repub­lic of Ire­land mid­fielder has made a total of 60 appear­ances for Manchester United after sign­ing pro­fes­sional terms with the club at the start of the 2004-05 cam­paign.

Derry born Dar­ron Gib­son was dis­covered by Manchester United scouts at the young age of four­teen and made his first Premier League appear­ance for The Reds when he came on as a second period sub­sti­tute in a 5–0 suc­cess against Stoke City at Old Traf­ford in Novem­ber 2008. A Repub­lic of Ire­land inter­na­tional, the mid­field work­horse made his full debut in a close 1–0 tri­umph against Cyprus at Croke Park in Dub­lin back in Octo­ber 2008 and has so far won sev­en­teen senior caps for the Irish national team. Back in the year of 2007, how­ever, Gib­son was in the middle of a con­tro­ver­sial dis­pute between the Foot­ball Asso­ci­ation of Ire­land and the Irish Foot­ball Asso­ci­ation after the Ulster­man had decided that he would play for the Repub­lic of Ire­land instead of North­ern Ireland.
