Description

Linas Pilibaitis (born 5 April 1985 in Kretinga) is a Lithuanian professional footballer currently playing for FK TransINVEST.

Pilibaitis joined Kaunas aged 17 in 2002, gradually working his way into the first team as he developed in the following years. This process was aided by a loan spell at Klaipėda side FK Atlantas in 2004, where he scored his first senior goal. Having played a prominent role in Kaunas's 2006 A Lyga victory, he was loaned to Hearts in January 2007. He made his debut for the Jambos in a 2–0 victory at Motherwell on 5 March 2007 but returned to Kaunas in August of that year, having made only five appearances for the Hearts first team.

Pilibaitis scored the winning goal for Kaunas which knocked out Rangers of the second qualifying tie of the UEFA Champions League on 6 August 2008. He joined than in January 2009 to Győri ETO FC.

In July 2012 he started a trial with Israeli powerhouse Maccabi Haifa.

On 26 February 2017, it was announced that Pilibaitis will return to the Lithuanian A Lyga contenders Atlantas.
