Career

Sibbick began his career with AFC Wimbledon and made his professional debut on 17 April 2017 in a 0–0 draw against Peterborough United.[4] Sibbick can operate in mainly defensive positions but has the footballing ability to play further forward if needed. He scored his first goals for Wimbledon when he scored twice in an EFL Trophy tie against Tottenham Hotspur Under-23s on 3 October 2017.[5]

On 26 January 2019, Sibbick came off the bench scored the fourth goal against West Ham in the FA Cup fourth round to seal a famous 4–2 win for AFC Wimbledon.[6]

Sibbick signed for Barnsley in the summer of 2019. He then moved on loan to Scottish club Heart of Midlothian in January 2020.[7][8]

On 4 August 2020, Sibbick joined Belgian First Division A side Oostende on a season-long loan deal,[9] which was eventually terminated early in December 2020 as Sibbick had difficulties manifesting himself due to the good performance of other (young) defenders.[10][11]

Style of play

Sibbick is well known for his versatility, work-rate, and fitness levels, in mainly defending but also the attacking sense. He is described as, "So comfortable on the ball. As he can also get up and down the pitch brilliantly." and "Tall, athletic and has the ability to easily beat his man and find a teammate."[12]
