Career

edit

Chaib played youth football in Trosvik until the age of 16, and after three seasons in Fredrikstad's youth team, he started his senior career in Trosvik. Via a two-year stint in Moss, he also got the chance to play for Fredrikstad's first team.[1] After scoring less goals in Fredrikstad, he again scored double digits after joining Kvik Halden.[2]

In January 2022, Chaib signed a two-year contract with Eliteserien side Sandefjord.[3][4]

After the 2023 season, Sandefjord decided not to extend Chaib's contract.[5] In the 2024 pre-season he was on trial with IK Start.[6]
