Playing career

Shibasaki was born in Yokosuka on May 23, 1982. After graduating from high school, he joined J1 League club Tokyo Verdy in 2001. Although he debuted in 2002, he struggled for gametime behind Daijiro Takakuwa and Yoshinari Takagi. In 2004, he moved to J2 club Yokohama FC. However, he struggled for gametime behind Takanori Sugeno. In 2006, he moved to J1 club FC Tokyo but could not play at all due to Yoichi Doi.

In 2007, Shibasaki re-joined Tokyo Verdy for the first time in 4 years. He struggled for minutes behind Yoshinari Takagi and Yoichi Doi who joined Verdy in 2008. However, Takagi left Verdy at the end of 2009 and Doi was injured in May 2011. So, Shibasaki became the regular goalkeeper instead of Doi from May 2011. Although he also played as regular goalkeeper in 2012, Shibasaki lost his position behind Doi from July 2012.

In 2013, although Doi retired end of 2012 season, Shibasaki also moved to Yokohama FC, going on his first ever loan. He played 13 matches. However, the club won only two matches in the first 10 matches, so he lost his position to Junnosuke Schneider in April.[1]

In 2014, Shibasaki returned to Tokyo Verdy. However, he was mainly a bench player behind Yuya Sato until 2015. In 2016, Sato left Verdy at the end of the 2015 season. Shibasaki battled with new player Ryota Suzuki for the position and played 19 times. In 2017, Suzuki left Verdy at the end of the 2016 season and Shibasaki played as the starting goalkeeper in all 42 matches. However, he struggled for gametime behind new player Naoto Kamifukumoto from 2018.

He joined SC Sagamihara in 2022 and then Kataller Toyama in 2023.
