Youth career

He began his youth career at local club West Sound FC before joining Washington Premier in 2020.

He made three appearances for ADT in The Philippines Football League, scoring one goal.[4] Muens signed for FC Schweinfurt 05 for the 2023–24 season.[5] He made his début as a substitute on 4 November 2023 against SV Schalding-Heining.[6]

Style of play

In 2023 Washington Huskies head coach Jamie Clark stated "Gavin has more international experience than any player we have ever recruited. He’s got full international caps with the Philippine’s national team and has played all over the world in incredible settings. He’s a very talented midfielder with the ability to pull strings, but also works box-to-box. Gavin will enroll early and we’re excited to start working with him."[10]
