Joe Sbarra

Career Burton Albion Sbarra came up through the youth academy at Burton Albion and made his debut on the last day of the 2016–17 season, coming on in the 68 minute against Reading aged 18. On 10 November 2017, Sbarra was rewarded for his breakthrough with a new contract that would see him stay with the club until 2020. Sbarra had to wait until the 2019–20 season to score his first senior goal, opening the scoring three minutes into a 2–2 draw with Portsmouth.

Solihull Moors (loan) On 25 March 2019, Sbarra joined Solihull Moors on loan until the end of the season. The following day Sbarra came off of the bench in the 70 minute of a 2–2 draw with Boreham Wood and had to wait until the last day of the season to make his first start in a 1–1 draw with Dagenham & Redbridge. Sbarra made a total of six appearances as Solihull narrowly missed out on automatic promotion before losing in the playoffs. He made his debut on 3 October against Woking on the opening day of the season and opened his account for the club the following week in a 5–0 thrashing of King's Lynn Town.

Following the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, the club confirmed that Sbarra would be leaving the club upon the expiration of his contract. His time at the club ultimately ended in disappointment as the club were defeated in the play-off final and the FA Trophy final within a week of each other.

On 3 May 2025, Doncaster secured the League Two title on the final day of the season, earning automatic promotion to EFL League One.

In November 2025, Sbarra returned to National League club Solihull Moors on an initial two-month loan deal. In January 2026, this loan was extended for the remainder of the season.

He was released upon the expiry of his contract at the end of the 2025–26 season.

Return to Solihull Moors On 16 June, it was announced Sbarra would rejoin Solihull Moors

International career Sbarra was called up to the England C team for a friendly against Wales C in March 2022.
