Club career[edit]

Early years[edit]

A winger, Lisbie began his career alongside his brother Kyrell in the Leyton Orient youth system.[3] Following the brothers' release in 2017, for being "too injury prone", they failed trials at Colchester United, Watford and Millwall.[3] Following a spell in the Shield Academy, the brothers joined the U23 team at Isthmian League South East Division club Cray Valley Paper Mills in early 2020.[3] Lisbie progressed to make two substitute appearances for the first team late in the 2020–21 season.[4] Following a spell on trial with West Ham United, both brothers impressed during a second trial with Watford and signed contracts in October 2021.[3][5][6] The brothers were released by Watford at the end of the 2021–22 season.[5]

Brentford[edit]

On 13 July 2022, Lisbie signed a one-year contract with the B team at Premier League club Brentford, with the option of a further year,[6] on a free transfer.[7] Despite not featuring in the Final victory over Blackburn Rovers due to a season-ending patellar tendinopathy suffered in March 2023,[8][9] Lisbie received a 2022–23 Premier League Cup-winner's medal in recognition of his seven appearances and two goals earlier in the competition.[10][11] The one-year option on his contract was taken up at the end of the 2022–23 season, with a further one-year option attached.[12] Following a second injury,[9] Lisbie finally returned to match play on 13 December 2023.[13]

Representative career[edit]

While with Shield Academy, Lisbie represented Essex at U16 level.[14][15]

Personal life[edit]

Lisbie is the son of former professional footballer Kevin Lisbie and his twin brother Kyrell also became a footballer.[3] He grew up in Chigwell.[16]
