Joseph Gbode (born 8 April 2005) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL League Two club Gillingham.

Career

Gbode first joined Gillingham's academy in the under 15 age group.[3]

He made his first-team debut for Gillingham on 16 November 2021, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Ben Reeves in a 1–0 defeat at Cheltenham Town in the FA Cup.[4] He made his league debut four days later, appearing as an 83rd-minute substitute in a 2–0 away defeat to Crewe Alexandra.[5]

On 4 February 2022, he joined Margate on a one-month loan deal.[6] On 24 March 2022, he joined Folkestone Invicta on loan, alongside Gillingham teammates Sam Gale and Alex Giles.[7] He joined Hastings United on dual-registration terms at the start of the 2022–23 season.[8]

On 4 October 2023, he joined Maidstone United on a one month loan.[9]

Having been recalled from Maidstone following the appointment of Stephen Clemence as Gillingham manager, on 2 December 2023 he went on an initial one month loan to Aveley of the National League South.[10] Gbode's loan with the Essex side was cut short by Gillingham on 22 February 2024 after the club was hit by a number of injuries in forward positions.[11]

On 20 September 2024 Gillingham announced that Gbode had signed a new contract running until the end of the 2026–27 season, with the option a further year.[3]
