Career

Gosling signed for Swindon Town Centre of Excellence as a ten year old. A year later he signed for Plymouth Argyle Centre of Excellence after he moved with his family to Newquay. He was released from Plymouth Argyle at the age 16 whereupon he enrolled at Hartpury College. During his time at Hartpury Gosling was offered a trial for Exeter City Youth team, his trial was successful. He graduated through the Exeter City youth team to sign professional terms under Paul Tisdale in April 2012.[4]

He scored a "stunning goal" against Dorchester Town in pre-season,[5] and joined Conference South side Dorchester on loan in September; the initial one month loan deal was later extended until January.[6] During this loan spell he scored the goal that knocked Plymouth out of the FA Cup on 4 November.[7]

He made his debut for Exeter on 12 January 2013, as a late substitute for Steve Tully in a 3–0 win over Southend United at St James Park.[8] He scored his first goal for the club to complete a 3-0 home win over Northampton in League Two on 2 March. In January 2014 it was confirmed that Gosling was eligible to play for Gibraltar in upcoming friendlies and their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign by national team coach Allen Bula, and was under consideration for his next squad.[9]
