Club career

Gibbs-White joined Wolverhampton Wanderers aged 8 and has played for the club's academy at all age groups. He made his first team debut, aged 16, as a 62nd-minute substitute for Joe Mason in a 2–0 win over Premier League side Stoke City in the FA Cup 3rd round on 7 January 2017. He made his first league appearance on 14 February 2017 in a 1–0 home defeat in the EFL Championship against Wigan Athletic.
In January 2018, it was announced that Gibbs-White had signed a contract to keep him at the club until summer 2022.
He made his first Premier League appearance in the opening home match of the 2018–19 season against Everton as a late substitute. He also came on as a substitute in the home match against Tottenham Hotspur on 4 November 2018; despite the team losing 3–2, his performance received particular praise.
Gibbs-White got his first start in the Premier League in the home game against Chelsea on 5 December 2018, in which he provided the assist for Wolves' first goal by Raúl Jiménez in a 2–1 win.
