Career

edit

Sibille started off his career with River Plate.[1][3] He was an unused substitute three times between 2015 and 2017, eventually making his first professional appearance during the 2017–18 Argentine Primera División season as River Plate lost 4–0 to Talleres; in the years prior to his first-team debut, Sibille featured for the club's U20 team - notably at the 2016 U-20 Copa Libertadores in Paraguay.[1][4][5] He appeared three more times for them, before departing at the end of his contract in June 2020.[6] On 6 October, Sibille moved to Spain with Valencia B.[7] He made his Segunda División B debut on 17 October against Atzeneta.[1]

In January 2021, after six appearances for their reserves, Sibille was promoted into Valencia's first-team for a Copa del Rey second round match away to Yeclano of Segunda División B.[1][8] He was subsequently selected to start by manager Javi Gracia, with the defender playing the full duration of a 4–1 win on 7 January.[1]

On 24 July 2021, Sibille was loaned to Primera División RFEF side CD Castellón for one year.[9] On 18 June of the following year, he moved to fellow third-tier side CD Atlético Baleares on a two-year contract.[10]
