He represented the Wallabies in 3 Tests in 1910 and the Kangaroos in 7 Tests from 1911 to 1920, his last two as captain. The captain-coach of the St. George Dragons club in their inaugural season, he is considered one of the nation's finest footballers of the 20th century[2] His sons, Herb Gilbert, Jr and Jack Gilbert were also notable rugby league footballers.

The pro-Rugby Union press boasted Gilbert was a greater asset to the Union than Dally Messenger had ever been. Gilbert played twice for NSW in 1910, in his first season of representative football, figuring prominently in matches against Queensland and the NZ Maoris, and won a place in all three internationals against New Zealand, who won the series, played over only eight days, by two tests to one.

After the outbreak of World War I, the three-quarter returned to Australia, where he rejoined South Sydney. In 1916, Gilbert joined Eastern Suburbs. He was a member of that club's City Cup winning side before joining the Western Suburbs Magpies in 1917.
