Club career

Kashima Antlers

Tenerife

On 31 January 2017, Shibasaki signed a six-month contract with Spanish Segunda División side CD Tenerife.[3] He made his debut for the club on 19 March, replacing Aitor Sanz in a 1–0 home loss against CF Reus Deportiu.

Shibasaki scored his first goal abroad on 28 May 2017, netting his team's second in a 3–1 away win against AD Alcorcón. He became a regular starter for the side and impressed during the play-offs, scoring the winner in a 1–0 home success over Cádiz CF; his side, however, failed to achieve promotion.

Getafe

On 17 July 2017, Shibasaki signed a four-year contract with Getafe CF, recently promoted to La Liga.[4]
