Early career
Lisbie began his career alongside his brother Kyreece at Leyton Orient, a club their father had played for. Having struggled with injuries, they were both relegated to the year group below them, before being released in 2017 after eighteen months with the club. Trials with Colchester United, Watford and Millwall followed, but after these were all unsuccessful, they played Sunday league football with Shield Academy. Their father, Kevin, ensured they did not feature often in organised football, preferring to train them individually.In 2020 they joined the under-23 side of Cray Valley Paper Mills, a club competing in the Isthmian League South Central, the eighth tier of English football. Both brothers played briefly for the first team, with Kyrell replacing his father as a substitute in two London Senior Cup games, against Glebe and AFC Wimbledon, before a trial with Premier League side West Ham United. Despite the trial scheduled to last one week, it was extended to six, but despite scoring against Watford in a game, Lisbie was not offered a contract. Instead they trialled again with Watford, and were offered contracts with the club after five weeks of training.
Semi-professional career
Having been released at the end of the 2021–22 season, Lisbie dropped down to sign for Woodford Town in the Essex Senior Football League. Having featured briefly for the club, he moved to National League South club Welling United in January 2023. He scored twice for Welling United in their 3–0 win against Hampton & Richmond Borough on 25 April 2023, his only goals for the club.In August of the same year, Lisbie returned to Cray Valley PM on a free transfer. When drawn in the first round of the FA Cup against his father Kevin's former club Charlton Athletic, Lisbie stated that the tie had been the one he was hoping for. In the match on 5 November 2023, Lisbie's cross early in the second half deflected off Charlton Athletic defender Lucas Ness to make the score 1–1, but he was substituted off minutes later after sustaining an injury. In the replay, he scored a penalty shortly before half-time to again make the score 1–1, though he was unable to prevent Cray Valley falling to a 6–1 defeat. Cray Valley announced Lisbie's departure at the end of the 2023–24 season.
On 6 June 2024 he was announced as a new signing for newly-promoted National League club Braintree Town. In March 2025 he was joined at the club by his brother Kyreece, who joined on loan from Colchester United. At the end of the season, following impressive performances, he was named as the Sportsbeat Young Player of the Year, given to the best young player in the National League, as well as being Braintree Town's player of the year.
