Originally a midfielder, Hibbert converted to play at right-back. He spent his entire professional career with Everton, having joined the club in 1991. He made his senior debut for Everton in 2001, and went on to make 328 appearances for the club in all competitions. With Hibbert being a one-club man for his entire career, coupled with his down-to-earth demeanour, he earned a cult hero status among Everton fans. He retired from playing in 2016 but returned to football in 2021 to play for amateur club ES Louzy in France.
