Career

Having come through Gillingham's youth set-up, he signed his first professional contract with the club on 17 April 2021, hours before being named on the first-team bench for their match against Oxford United.[4] He made his league debut for the club on 24 April 2021 as an 88th-minute substitute in a 2–2 draw with Northampton Town.[5][6] He made his first appearance of the 2021–22 season on 7 August 2021 in a 1–1 draw with Lincoln City, before scoring the first goal of his career three days later with the opening goal of a 2–2 draw with Crawley Town in the EFL Cup.[7] Following the club's relegation to League Two, Sithole was released by the club at the end of the 2021–22 season.[8]

On 24 June 2022 it was announced that he had signed for League One side Bolton Wanderers, and would feature initially for its B team.[9] He missed eight months of the 2022–23 due to a knee injury.[10]

On 21 September 2023, Sithole joined National League club Altrincham on an initial one-month loan.[11] In March 2024, he joined Chorley on loan for the remainder of the season.[12] On 22 May, the club confirmed that he would be leaving at the end of his contract on 30 June.[13]

On 8 August 2024, Warrington Town announced Sithole had signed for the club after impressing during their pre-season programme.[14]
