Sibley joined Blackpool from Bournemouth during the second half of the 1937–38 season, and made his debut on 29 January in a single-goal victory at Leicester City. He went on to appear in the remaining fifteen games of the campaign.
The following season, 1938–39, Sibley started 29 of Blackpool's 42 league games, before World War II intervened. In 1945–46, Sibley made six guest appearances for Southampton.[2]
After the conclusion of the war, in 1945–46, Sibley made six appearances for Blackpool in the Football League North.
In Sibley's final season at Bloomfield Road, 1946–47, he made 37 league appearances, as well as making his debut for the Tangerines in the FA Cup. His final game for the club occurred on 7 April, a 3–0 home defeat by Everton. He was sold to Grimsby Town.
In two years at Blundell Park, Sibley made 23 league appearances.
