The following season, Schembri established himself as a first-team regular making 26 appearances and scoring five goals, with Hibernians finishing one place higher than the previous season, in third place.
With Schembri putting in some very impressive performances he began the 2004–05 season by the Christmas period he was signed by fellow Maltese Premier League team Marsaxlokk, with Schembri making eleven appearances and scoring five goals during the half-season with Hibernians.

In his first full season with Marsaxlokk, Schembri recorded 24 appearances and scored 11 goals with the club finishing in fourth place in the Premier League, with Schembri gaining his first cap for Malta's senior side.
