Early and personal life

[edit]

Dibble has played for Bury, Barnsley, Stockport County, Nuneaton Town, Chelmsford City, Boston United, Chorley and Wrexham.[1]

Throughout his Wrexham career Dibble served as backup to first-choice goalkeeper Rob Lainton, speaking about it in July 2018,[5] January 2019,[6] April 2019,[7] and again in April 2021.[8]

In August 2019 he was said by local media to have "impressed after being handed starting role",[9] and in October 2021 he was praised by Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson after appearing as a substitute after 13 minutes in a match, following a head injury to Lainton.[10]

In April 2022, he spoke about Wrexham's support.[11] In May 2022 he played for Wrexham in the 2022 FA Trophy final having appeared in the competition following further injury to Lainton.[3][4] He left Wrexham by mutual consent in January 2023.[12]

He signed for Kidderminster Harriers on 27 January 2023.[13] On 26 May 2023, Dibble signed a new one year deal with Kidderminster Harriers.[14] Kidderminster earned promotion via the play-offs with Dibble starting in the play-off final win against Brackley Town.[15][16] He was released by Kidderminster at the end of the 2025–26 season.[17]

He signed for Macclesfield in May 2026.[18]
