Position | Goalkeeper |
Stoke City's popular 'keeper held his place in the starting line-up for most of the early part of 2000-01 before succumbing to a back injury that kept him out of action for almost six months.
He eventually returned towards the end of March and re-established himself in the side in the closing weeks of the campaign.
A goalkeeper who is an excellent shot stopper and has firm control over his box, he was sorely missed by City during his absence.
Gavin was given special dispensation to sign for Barnsley in April 2004 - after the Transfer Deadline - after Marlon Beresford suffered a back injury.
After being released by Coventry City at the end of the 2003-04 season, Gavin re-joined the Sky Blues on a monthly contract but soon joined Preston North End in a one-year deal.
This was extended to June 2006 in March 2005.
Gavin joined Tranmere Rovers in July 2006 with a one-year contract.
He joined Wrexham in January 2008 with a contract to June 2009.
