A product of the Tata Football Academy, Nabi started his career playing as a striker, then moved to midfield and then played as wing back. In recent international friendlies he has been playing as a fullback. Nabi’s club career started with Mohammedan Sporting but later joined East Bengal in 2004.

After the 2012–13 season ended, Nabi signed with IMG-Reliance to join the Indian Super League. In 2013, he went to the United States on a trial with Major League Soccer side D.C.
