On 27 January 2011, Sbaï signed for English club Blackpool on loan until the end of the season, with a view to a further twelve-month loan, as cover for Stephen Crainey and David Carney. He attended the match against Manchester United and trained with the first team on 27 January. However, he did not make a single appearance for the Tangerines and was released at the end of the season, following Blackpool’s relegation from the Premier League.
