On 8 September 2018, Pybus signed for National League North club Blyth Spartans[11] and only stayed at the club for four days and signed for the Norwegian club Tønsberg later that week.[12]

After departing from the Dumfries club at the end of his contract, Pybus signed for fellow Scottish Championship side Dunfermline Athletic on a one-year deal.[17][18] Following the team's relegation in the play-offs,[19][20] his contract was not extended and he left the club at the end of the season.[21]
