In August 2019 he was said by local media to have "impressed after being handed starting role",[8] 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.[9]

In April 2022, he spoke about Wrexham's support.[10] In May 2022 he played for Wrexham in the 2022 FA Trophy final having appeared in the competition following further injury to Lainton.[2][3] He left Wrexham by mutual consent in January 2023.[11]

He signed for Kidderminster Harriers on 27 January 2023.[12] On 26 May 2023, Dibble signed a new one year deal with Kidderminster Harriers.[13] Kidderminster earned promotion via the play-offs with Dibble starting in the play-off final win against Brackley Town.[14][15]
