His football career actually started as a young kid, like any kid of those in Brikama (the Gambia in general) growing up with his little football team called Baby Stars.
After developing with this team, he got eyed by a junior team called Quick Silvers. In 1983 he was scouted by a senior team called Dragons FC.
Milla’s career,as some referred to him in Brikama during his playing days, sparked with Dragons where he got his motivation training.
“This was the team that gave me all the opportunities as a player against any team”, recalled Sibi who was the team’s captain at some point.
Playing for Dragons was very entertaining, he added, and that “during this time Mighty Saraba were our arch rivals.”
There were also the likes of Justice FC, Kuteh Jumbulu FC, Juggy Fance FC, The Sun FC, New Town Youths FC among other teams, he went on, describing the Brikama nawetan as the best place to be playing football.
The fans of each team were entertaining and extraordinary said Sibikarang, who made a name for himself in Gambian football.
In late 1985, Starlight of Banjul (then a division one team) had a friendly match against Kuteh Jumbulu in preparation for the upcoming season, and Kuteh Jumbulu’s technical and management decide to blend him with the team.
The visiting team could not resist his brilliance, and thus invited him to join them. And at the club, the management treated him with respect, adding that he loved playing for the team.
At Starlight FC, Sibikarang was the best and leading goal scorer for the club, before moving to Wallidan FC, where he has scored very important goals for the club.
His work with Starlight paid off and, as a result, he was eyed by all 8 teams in the division one league, but he decided to join Wallidan, one of the most successful teams in the country.
In 1987, Jatta joined the Blue Boys (Wallidan FC), where he went on to spend three glittering seasons.
Sibikarang who still has high regards for M I Jallow aka Caba Jallow, BS Sallah, Papa OB Conateh, Adama Halla Samba, Momodou Lamin Susso aka ML coach (his mentor), Kebba Wassah Janneh, Ebrima Cham B, Karanlang Bojang, Mr Jammeh Badi Badi Sillah Sanneh, Baba Eks, Ba Malang Bungas Bojang and all the managements and players of his time, has won trophies with nawetan teams such as Dragons - knocked out champions in 1985 against mighty Saraba; league champions in 1988 against Kuteh Jumbulu; league champions in 1989 against Juggy Fance; league champions in 1990 against Gunjur Pelican seafood; and league champions with Top Ten FC against Justice FC in 1991 in Brikama.
With Wallidan, he lifted the FA during the 87/88 season and travelled to Sierra Leone to play against Eastern Lions, where they were held to a draw in Freetown and went on to win the return leg by a goal to nil.
They were due to play a Tunisian side, but due to certain reasons the game could not materialize.
He also won with Wallidan in 1988 the Super Cup against mighty Hawks, in a 4 - 2 victory in which current coach Sang Ndong played his last game as a player for the club (Hawks) in The Gambia.
