AFC Wimbledon and early career

[edit | edit source]

After being scouted, Sibbick signed his first professional contract with AFC Wimbledon, and made his professional debut on 17 April 2017 in a 0–0 draw against Peterborough United.[6]

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.[7] On 26 January 2019, Sibbick came off the bench scored the fourth goal against West Ham United in the FA Cup fourth round to seal a famous 4–2 win for AFC Wimbledon.[8]

[edit | edit source]

Sibbick signed for Barnsley in the summer of 2019.[9] He then moved on loan to Scottish club Heart of Midlothian in January 2020.[10][11]

On 4 August 2020, Sibbick joined Belgian First Division A side Oostende on a season-long loan deal,[12] which was eventually terminated early in December 2020 as Sibbick had difficulties manifesting himself due to the good performance of other young defenders.[13][14]

He scored his first goal for Barnsley in a 1–1 draw with Cardiff City on 7 August 2021.[15]

Heart of Midlothian

[edit | edit source]

On 27 January 2022, Sibbick signed with previous loan club Heart of Midlothian on a three-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[16] He made his second debut for Hearts in a 2–0 home win against Motherwell two days later, coming on at half time to replace an injured John Souttar.[17]

Wigan Athletic

[edit | edit source]

On 24 July 2024, Sibbick joined EFL League One club Wigan Athletic on a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[18][19]

Burton Albion

[edit | edit source]

On 10 July 2025, Sibbick joined EFL League One club Burton Albion, signing a two-year contract with the option of an additional year for an undisclosed fee.[20]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Sibbick was called up to the Uganda national team for a set of friendlies in March 2024. He debuted with them in a 2–2 draw with Ghana on 27 March 2024.[21] He was later summoned for the World Cup qualifying matches against Mozambique and Guinea Bissau in March 2025 but was an unused substitute for the two games.

Style of play

[edit | edit source]

Sibbick is well known for his versatility, work-rate, and fitness levels, in mainly defending but also the attacking sense. He can operate in mainly defensive positions but has the footballing ability to play further forward if needed. He has been 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".[5]
