In February 2023, Thibaut was promoted to the first team at Cobh Ramblers, going onto make his debut as he came on as a substitute and scored in the Munster Senior Cup Final against Cork City on 14 August 2023, which The Rams ended up winning 3–1. ^{[8] [9]} He would go onto make his league debut eleven days later, as he came on as an 88th–minute substitute for Matthew McKevitt during a 4–1 defeat against Galway United. ^{[10] [11]} Thibaut would go onto make five more appearances for The Rams, before being released at the end of his contract on 30 November 2023. ^[12]
