He replaced Diego Biseswar in the 51st minute of the Eredivisie home match against FC Utrecht (3–1).[3] On 27 August 2010, Cabral made his European debut.

Cabral was then traded to FC Twente, in exchange of Wesley Verhoek.[5] At FC Twente he signed a four-year contract.[6] His first season at FC Twente was a disappointing one, with only ten appearances.

Bastia

In summer 2016 Cabral moved abroad on a free transfer to play for French side Bastia,[11] but was loaned to Sparta in the January 2017 transfer window.[12]

Levski Sofia

On 12 September 2017, Cabral signed a two year contract with Bulgarian club Levski Sofia.[13]

Cabral was born in the Netherlands to a Cape Verdean father, and Dutch mother. He played at various levels for Dutch youth teams, including the Netherlands U17s, Netherlands U19s, and Netherlands U21s.
