The battling midfielder joined Pools in the January 2010 transfer window from hometown club Cork City.
It was during one of Chris Turner's trips to Ireland to watch Denis Behan in action that Gamble caught his eye and when the opportunity arose to bring him to The Vic he didn't waste any time.
Having spent some time with Reading earlier in his career, the gritty ball-winner returned to Cork where he won the Irish League in 2005.
Gamble quickly showed that he could bring some bite to the Pools midfield but was also capable of putting his foot on the ball and controlling things in the centre of the park.
Not famed for his goalscoring, he did manage to hit the target twice for Pools during the 2009/2010 campaign, against Carlisle United and Stockport County.
