On 1 February 2018, he renewed his contract with the club, tying him until 2021.[7] On 31 October 2020, Al-Khaibari renewed his contract with the club until 2023.[8] During the 2020–21 season, Al-Khaibari captained Al-Fayha to a second-placed finish in the MS League, thus earning promotion to the Pro League once again.[9] On 19 May 2022, Al-Khaibari captained Al-Fayha in the King Cup final against Al-Hilal.
