Italian defender Gabrieli played just 13 minutes of professional football for Sheffield United; he was signed on a short term contract in October 2004 from Cavese by then manager Neil Warnock after a successful trial - making his only appearance in a red and white shirt at Gillingham in a 3-1 win (Darius Henderson was on the opposing team), replacing Danny Cademarteri as a substitute. Failing to impress at the Lane he joined Boston United in February 2005, playing just four times against; Wycombe Wanderers (W 2-1), Bury (D 2-2), Lincoln City (L 0-2) and Northampton Town (L 0-1) and when his contract expired at the end of that same season the York Street club allowed him to leave on a free transfer. At the age of 19, whilst at his previous club Chieti he was linked with a move to Arsenal which never materialised, and during the 2000/01 season he helped his club win promotion from C2. Upon leaving England he returned to Italy where he teamed up with Rieti SRL whom now plays in Serie-D, the countries equivalent to our League Two; in 2006 he joined Celano Olimpia (winning promotion in his first season) and for the previous two seasons has been at Melfi.
