In April 2003 he had a trial with Cheltenham Town[1] and in July 2003 joined Yeovil Town.[2] He made his league debut on 9 August 2003 as Yeovil won 3–1 away to Rochdale, Yeovil's first ever game in the Football League.[3]

He joined Conference National side Aldershot Town on loan in March 2004[4] and had trials with Chester City, Boston United and Hereford United during the 2004 close-season. He returned to Team Bath on a short term contract in August 2004,[5] and later Yeovil,where he played once more as a late substitute for Paul Terry as Yeovil lost 1–0 away to Scunthorpe United[6] before being released.

He joined Weymouth that November.,[7][8] but played just once, in the FA Trophy, before joining Torquay United on a free transfer.[9]

Gosling made his Torquay debut as a half-time substitute for Martin Phillips as Torquay lost 1–0 at home to Barnsley[10] and started, and scored in, the 1–1 draw away to Chesterfield the following week.[11] He lost his place after Torquay's 1–1 draw away to Huddersfield Town on 8 January 2005, a game in which Gosling was replaced early in the second half by Matthew Hockley,[12] and was released in February 2005,.[13]

He joined Woking later that month[14] and was a regular until the end of the season.

In August 2005 Gosling joined Forest Green Rovers,[15] but was released in November 2005.[16]

Gosling joined Hungerford Town in the 2006 close season. He suffered a collapsed lung in March 2007 in a game against Shortwood United.[17] In May 2007 his initial one-year contract with Hungerford was extended by a further year.[18]
