Career
Youth career
El Kabir began his career with Blauw-Wit Amsterdam. In 2005, he joined Jong Ajax,[1] a team he left after one year. He signed with Jong Feyenoord for one year, then with FC Utrecht, where he was included in the reserves' team. He left FC Utrecht in the summer of 2008 to sign with the Eredivisie NEC Nijmegen on 3 June 2008.[2] He made his Eredivisie debut in November 2008, against NAC Breda.[3]
NEC
On February 8 El Kabir was told he would not be playing any more matches for NEC, as result of disciplinary action. El Kabir was allowed to leave NEC for free, even though he has been contracted until 2012.[4] Erton Fejzullahu then informed Mjällby AIF about El Kabir being available and a contract was signed.
Mjällby AIF
When he signed for Mjällby AIF it was their first season in Allsvenskan since 1983. Media and many other experts had the team as a relegation candidate. But when the first half of the season 2010 was played, Mjällby were in the fourth position. (out of 16 teams) El Kabir scored his first goal for the club away against Örebro SK in the third round.[5] He wasn’t scoring again until the seventh round away against BK Häcken.[6][7]
In the last game in Allsvenskan (round 14) before the World cup break on May 15, 2010, Mjällby AIF were playing home against Malmö FF. In front of friends and his brother, El Kabir scored the two first goals in the game which ended up in a 4–2 victory to Mjällby. On the 4th of July, Mjällby AIF once again played against Malmö FF, but in the fourth round of the Svenska Cupen. The result was 4–1 to Mjällby and El Kabir scored all four goals.
Cagliari
On 5 April 2011, Cagliari President Massimo Cellino announced that a deal had been made for the transfer of El Kabir to Cagliari for the 2011–12 Serie A season.
