Football career

Originally from Beagle Bay, near Broome in the north-west of West Australia, he was recruited from the Oakleigh Chargers in the TAC Cup with the third selection in the 2009 Rookie Draft.[1] He played for the Chargers whilst attending Xavier College in Melbourne.[2] He also played for the Northern Territory Thunder in the 2008 AFL Under 18 Championships.[3]

Sibosado played for Claremont in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) but switched to Perth during 2010 to get more opportunities at senior level.[4]

Sibosado made his AFL debut in the final round of the 2011 AFL season, replacing Luke McPharlin who was a late withdrawal from the team.[5] Due to an unprecedented run of injuries, Fremantle had to be given special permission to elevate Sibosado and Joel Houghton off their rookie list to enable the team to name a full 25-person squad for the final match of the season.[6] He kicked a goal with his first kick in AFL football.

He was delisted by Fremantle at the conclusion of the 2011 season.[7]
