==Career== Born in Forbach, Morabit began his career with US Forbach and signed in summer 2007 for German club Sportfreunde Köllerbach. After one season with SF Köllerbach, in which he scored 7 goals in 26 matches, Morabit signed a two-year contract with Eintracht Braunschweig on 21 August 2008.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Fröhlich |first1=Thomas |title=Smail Morabit erfüllt sich den Traum vom Profifußball |url=https://www.braunschweiger-zeitung.de/sport/eintracht-braunschweig/article150099113/Smail-Morabit-erfuellt-sich-den-Traum-vom-Profifussball.html |access-date=23 March 2021 |work=Braunschweiger Zeitung |date=10 July 2008 |language=de}}</ref> After two years, he left Eintracht Braunschweig on 30 June 2010.
