, scoring once.

He was transferred to fellow Ligue 1 side Nice in June 2009 for an undisclosed fee and signed a four-year contract.[7][8] Two and a half years later, Mabiala left Nice to join Turkish club Karabükspor for an undisclosed fee,[9] having agreed a contract with the Süper Lig side until the summer of 2014.[10]

Mabiala signed a two-year contract with Kayserispor on 7 August 2015.[11]

On 29 May 2017, a team source confirmed that the Portland Timbers signed Mabiala.[12] He scored the opening goal in the MLS is Back Tournament Final.[13]
