Dominic Edward Gape (born 9 September 1994)[3] is an English footballer who plays in central midfield for Wycombe Wanderers, on loan from Southampton.[4]

Playing career

Born in Burton Bradstock, West Dorset, Gape joined Southampton when he was eight years old, first their academy before being promoted to the Development Squad. He captained the Under-18 side in 2012–13.[3]

He became part of the first-team squad in 2012, as an unused substitute in a League Cup match against Sheffield Wednesday on 25 September 2012.[3][5] He signed his first professional contract in May 2013.[2] His progress was then impeded by a series of illnesses and injuries, firstly by an ankle ligament injury and then a bout of glandular fever at the end of the 2013–14 season, before he broke a metatarsal in the summer of 2014.[2]

He made his Premier League debut on 20 December 2014, as an 89th-minute substitute for Shane Long in a 3–0 victory over Everton.[6][7]

On 31 August 2016, Gape moved on loan for the first time in his career; signing with League Two side Wycombe Wanderers until 3 January 2017.[8][9]
