David John Hibbert (born 28 January 1986) is an English former footballer who played as a forward; he is now working as a coach at Stoke City.
Starting his professional career with Port Vale in 2004, the following year he was signed controversially by Preston North End – who eventually paid Vale £45,000 for his services. Following loans out to Rotherham United and Bradford City, he transferred to Shrewsbury Town in 2007 for £75,000. He managed to become a key first-team player for the "Shrews" before leaving them for Peterborough United in 2010. After picking up a serious injury in November 2010, he did not play a competitive game and announced his retirement from football in April 2013. He returned to the game with Nuneaton Town in October 2013 on a part-time basis before moving on to Tamworth in June 2014. He joined AFC Telford United in June 2015 before retiring at the end of the 2016–17 season.
