Cabella playing for Montpellier in the Champions League

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 English 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 first 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]

Marseille

On 1 February 2016, a buyout clause in Cabella's loan deal was activated, making his move to Marseille permanent.[16]
