Zobiri started off his career in the junior ranks of local club Gap FC.[1] In 2003, he was promoted to the first team and remained at the club for four more seasons. In 2007, he left Gap to join Louhans-Cuiseaux in the Championnat National. In two seasons with the club, he made 72 appearances, scoring 15 goals.

On 9 July 2009 Zobiri signed a two-year contract with Algerian club ES Sétif.[2] However, he left the club after just one season after failing to become a regular.

On 6 June 2010 Zobiri returned to France and signed with the Championnat National side Amiens SC.[3] He was released in May 2012.
