Early life[]

Club career[]

Montpellier[]

Cabella signed a three-year professional contract with Montpellier in July 2009. He injured the cruciate ligament in his right knee during training in September and was ruled out for the season.[5]

He was sent on loan to Arles-Avignon for the 2010–11 Ligue 1 season, where he scored three goals in 17 league appearances.

Cabella signed a two-year extension to his contract in January 2012, which would keep him at the club til 2016. In a 1–0 win over Brest on 4 February 2012, Cabella struck a volley from a cross that struck the back of his teammate Geoffrey Dernis and went into the opposition's net for a goal. Cabella was credited with the assist.[6] On 11 February 2012, in a 3–0 victory over AC Ajaccio, Cabella scored with a right-footed shot across Ajaccio's goalkeeper after being put away by Olivier Giroud.[7] On 20 May 2012, Montpellier won the league title for the first time in its history.

In May 2014, Cabella announced his intention to leave the club in the summer.[8]

Newcastle United[]

On 13 July 2014, Cabella signed for Premier League club Newcastle United on a six-year deal, for a reported £8 million transfer fee.[9] He made his competitive debut on 17 August as Newcastle began the season with a 2–0 defeat at home to Manchester City, playing the full 90 minutes.[10] Cabella's only Newcastle goal came on 31 January 2015, opening a 3–0 win away at Hull City.[11] He was subsequently awarded Player of the Month for January by Newcastle fans.[12] During his time with Newcastle, Cabella made 34 appearances in all competitions, scoring just one goal.[13]

Marseille[]

On 19 August 2015, Cabella returned to France, signing with Ligue 1 side Marseille on a season-long loan as part of a deal that saw Florian Thauvin transfer to Newcastle.[14] He made his club debut on 23 August 2015, starting in the 6–0 Ligue 1 home victory over Troyes.[15] On 3 December 2015, Cabella scored his first goal for Marseille in a 1–0 win over Rennes in a Ligue 1 match before scoring one goal again 3 days later in a 2–2 draw with Montpellier in another Ligue 1 match.[16]

Although Cabella's loan spell at Marseille had ended, he spent the pre-season with the French club, appearing in some friendly matches. On 11 August 2016, Newcastle announced that Cabella's loan switch to Marseille had become permanent ahead of the 2016-2017 season.[17]

On 1 March 2017, Cabella scored two goals to level the score twice (to 2–2 and 3–3) in a 4–3 extra-time home loss to Monaco in a 2016–17 Coupe de France round of 16 match.[18]

On 16 August 2018, Cabella joined Saint-Étienne permanently on a four-year contract.[21] On 5 May 2019, he scored a goal and provided two assists in the 3-2 Ligue 1 away win over Monaco.[22] He was later named player of the season of Saint-Étienne.

Cabella missed almost a year during recovery, making his return appearance for Krasnodar on 1 July 2020 in a match against FC Rostov. The 2019–20 Russian Premier League season had been extended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia.[26]
