Sofiane Zaaboub (born January 23, 1983) in Montereau-Fault-Yonne, France, is an French-Algerian football player who is currently playing for Swindon Town in England. He has made the Left Midfield position his own, with some impressive performances.
Club Career
Prior to joining Swindon he played for ASA Montereau, AS Saint-Étienne, Modena F.C., Sora, Real Jaén, FC Brussels.
Zaaboub was Paul Sturrock's first signing as Town manager, Zaaboub signed on a short term deal in November 2006, after leaving Belgian top flight club FC Brussels during the summer. Prior to joining Swindon, he had many trials at higher-level clubs - including Preston North End, Swansea City, Plymouth Argyle, Luton Town, Dundee and FC Metz - but his longest trial was at Sturrock's former club Sheffield Wednesday. Sturrock returned to bring Zaaboub to Swindon just days after his own arrival at the County Ground.
In January 2006 Zaaboub signed a contract extension to keep him in Swindon until the end of the 2007/2008 season, after impressing Swindon fans and management alike on the left side of midfield.[1]
