Craig Sibbald

Craig Sibbald of Falkirk was born in Falkirk, Scotland on 18 May 1995 (age 31).

Craig Sibbald is a Scottish midfielder, born on 18 May 1995 (age 31), and primarily used in central midfield for Falkirk. A compact figure at 5ft 7in (1.70m), he wears the No 10 shirt and has built his profile around tidy, practical work rather than any great fuss.

His most productive league season came with Falkirk in 2016-17, when he scored 10 goals in 36 appearances. That remains the clear attacking high point in a career shaped more by reliability and regular involvement than headline-making bursts.

In 2026-27, Sibbald has made six league appearances, along with four League Cup outings and two in the Scottish Cup, taking him to 12 appearances for Falkirk across all competitions. His current market value is around £255,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Sibbald’s career is straightforward enough: a Scottish central midfielder with a long Falkirk association, a strong 2016-17 scoring return, and a continuing first-team role into his early thirties.
