Playing career

Early years

In 2016, when Gamble played in the Redcliffe Dolphins’ Brisbane Rugby League team, he won the Don McLennan Trophy for best player in the grand final.[3] Gamble progressed through to the grades to play for the Redcliffe Dolphins senior side in the Queensland Cup.[4] In May 2017, he signed a 2-year contract with the Wests Tigers starting in 2018.[5]

2018

Gamble started the season playing for the Tigers' Intrust Super Premiership NSW team, Western Suburbs Magpies.[6] He played a part in the Magpies’ early successes that year – scoring a try in Round 1, and playing a leading role in his team's consecutive wins early in the year. In round 15 of the 2018 NRL season, he made his NRL debut for the Tigers against the Canberra Raiders,[7] but it was his only appearance for the season.

2019

On 6 May, Gamble was selected for the Canterbury Cup NSW residents side to play against the Queensland residents representative team.[8]

On 25 June, it was announced that Gamble had been released from the Wests Tigers, effective immediate, to return to Queensland.[9]

On 29 June, Gamble was a late inclusion for his former junior club, the Redcliffe Dolphins, in their Round 15 clash against the previously undefeated Sunshine Coast Falcons. Redcliffe won the match with Gamble kicking five conversions.[10]
