Club career
=Rochdale=
Born in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, where he started out with Heyside Juniors,[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNhELJIxysc "Matt Gilks Interview // Getting to Know You"] – Scotland National Team, YouTube Gilks joined Rochdale at the age of 13. He was promoted from their youth team in 2001. After being coached by Fred Barber,[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7db3_fSqxc "The Big Interview – Matt Gilks"] – Goalkeeper Magazine, YouTube he eventually replaced Neil Edwards in the first team, becoming a regular starter. He made a total of 198 appearances for the club in league and cup competitions, and by the time he was 24, he was the longest-serving player at Rochdale. Being an Oldham Athletic fan growing up, and living about a mile from Boundary Park, he states Andy Rhodes and Jon Hallworth as his heroes.
=Norwich City=
On 1 July 2007, Gilks signed a two-year contract with Championship club Norwich City, moving on a free transfer due to his contract with Rochdale having expired.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/norwich/6245490.stm|title=Norwich to sign Rochdale keeper |date=27 June 2007|publisher=BBC|access-date=21 November 2008}} He was unable to break into Norwich's first team, spending most of the 2007–08 season sitting on the substitutes bench.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/shrewsbury/7741834.stm|title=Gilks solves Shrews keeper crisis |date=21 November 2008|publisher=BBC|access-date=21 November 2008}} He also had a spell out of action with ligament damage after twisting his ankle in training in November 2007.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/norwich/7121044.stm|title=Gilks looks set for rapid return |date=30 November 2007|publisher=BBC|access-date=21 November 2008}}
=Blackpool=
In the summer of 2008, and without having made a first-team appearance for Norwich, Gilks signed for fellow Championship club Blackpool as makeweight in a part-exchange deal which saw Wes Hoolahan go in the opposite direction. He made his debut on 12 August 2008 in a 2–0 League Cup defeat by Macclesfield Town.{{cite web|url=http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=559154 |date=12 August 2008|title=Macclesfield 2–0 Blackpool|work=Soccerbase|access-date=1 February 2009}}
After failing to break into the first team, and considering quitting the game due to lack of opportunities and a self-perceived lack of ability during a training session, he signed for League Two club Shrewsbury Town on a month's loan on 21 November to cover an injury crisis at the club.{{cite web | title=New Keeper Joins | publisher=Shrewsbury Town F.C. | date=21 November 2008 | url=http://www.shrewsburytown.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10443~1461894,00.html | access-date=21 November 2008 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716064458/http://www.shrewsburytown.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10443~1461894,00.html | archive-date=16 July 2011 }}{{cite web | title=Matt Gilks | publisher=Shrewsbury Town F.C. | date=21 November 2008 | url=http://www.shrewsburytown.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10443~1461949,00.html | access-date=21 November 2008 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716064518/http://www.shrewsburytown.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10443~1461949,00.html | archive-date=16 July 2011 }} He made his debut the following day in a goalless draw with Lincoln City at Sincil Bank.{{cite web|url=http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=570857 |date=22 November 2008|title=Lincoln 0–0 Shrewsbury|work=Soccerbase|access-date=1 February 2009}} He made three further appearances for Shrewsbury, with his final match coming on 13 December, a 1–0 defeat by Grimsby Town at Blundell Park,{{cite web|url=http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=571633 |date=22 November 2008|title=Grimsby 1–0 Shrewsbury|work=Soccerbase|access-date=1 February 2009}} before returning to Blackpool.
While Simon Grayson was Blackpool manager, he did not usually name a substitute goalkeeper, preferring to have five outfield players on the bench. After Grayson left the club, in late December 2008, caretaker manager Tony Parkes immediately began naming Gilks as a substitute. After a number of matches as an unused substitute, Gilks made his league debut for Blackpool on 31 January 2009, after Paul Rachubka was sent off three minutes into Blackpool's match against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Gilks was brought on and helped Blackpool to a 1–0 win.{{cite web | title = Report – Crystal Palace vs Blackpool | publisher = Blackpool F.C. | date = 31 January 2009 | url = http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/page/MatchReport/0,,10432~45460,00.html | access-date = 1 February 2009 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120229163515/http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/page/MatchReport/0,,10432~45460,00.html | archive-date = 29 February 2012 }}
His first league start of the 2009–10 season came in the 2–0 win over Plymouth Argyle at Bloomfield Road on 17 October. After three consecutive clean sheets, Gilks was named in The Championship "Team of the Week", along with teammates Stephen Crainey and Marcel Seip, following his performance in Blackpool's goalless draw with Swansea City on 24 October at the Liberty Stadium.{{cite web|url=http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10432~1838549,00.html |title=Trio Named in Team of the Week |date=27 October 2009 |publisher=Blackpool F.C. |access-date=27 October 2009 }}{{dead link|date=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{cite web|url=http://www.football-league.co.uk/staticFiles/e/41/0,,10794~147726,00.pdf|title=Championship Team Of The Week (26/10/2009)|date=26 October 2009|publisher=The Football League|access-date=27 October 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091122191851/http://www.football-league.co.uk/staticFiles/e/41/0%2C%2C10794~147726%2C00.pdf|archive-date=22 November 2009}} His 200th career Football League appearance came in a 1–0 home win over Ipswich Town on 6 March 2010, when he was also named Man of the Match.{{cite web|url=http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/page/MatchReport/0,,10432~47457,00.html |title=Blackpool vs Ipswich Town |date=6 March 2010 |publisher=Blackpool F.C. |access-date=6 March 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609120929/http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/page/MatchReport/0%2C%2C10432~47457%2C00.html |archive-date=9 June 2012 }} In addition, he was again named in The Championship "Team of the Week", following his performance, which saw a fourth clean sheet in five games.{{cite news|url=http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10432~1988418,00.html|title=Gilks in Team of the Week|date=6 March 2010|publisher=Blackpool F.C.|access-date=9 March 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100310233220/http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10432~1988418,00.html|archive-date=10 March 2010}}{{cite web|url=http://www.football-league.co.uk/staticFiles/7/4b/0,,10794~150279,00.pdf|title=Championship Team Of The Week (08/03/2010)|date=8 March 2010|publisher=The Football League|access-date=9 March 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100331224536/http://www.football-league.co.uk/staticFiles/7/4b/0%2C%2C10794~150279%2C00.pdf|archive-date=31 March 2010}}

International career
On 22 August 2010, the Scottish FA confirmed that manager Craig Levein was considering Gilks for a call-up to the Scotland national squad for their upcoming UEFA Euro 2012 qualifiers against Lithuania and Liechtenstein. Gilks qualifies to play for Scotland through his Scottish grandmother. Levein said of Gilks: "He is one we became aware of a while ago and have kept track of his progress. Obviously he was a key figure in Blackpool's promotion to the Barclays Premier League and while I will not name my squad until tomorrow, he is one I think we need to take a closer look at. He comes highly recommended, is playing regularly for his club and the next logical step is for our goalkeeping coach to work closely with him."{{cite news|url=http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_fa_news.cfm?page=128&newsID=6365|title=Gilks can be tartan tower of strength|date=22 August 2010|publisher=Scottish F.A.|access-date=22 August 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110614220238/http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_fa_news.cfm?page=128&newsID=6365|archive-date=14 June 2011|url-status=dead}}

I'm eligible and it's great to be in the squad. Everybody knows that I am English but England doesn't come knocking on the door of Blackpool Football Club and I think that's a problem. They look at the bigger clubs.
