Club career

In April 2008, while competing for Eisden Sport in the Limburg Third Division—the seventh level within the Belgian football hierarchy—Annab secured a contract with Westerlo. During this period, he also participated in futsal for ZVK Eisden Dorp but ceased playing after his transfer. His debut in Belgium’s highest league occurred on 12 September 2009 during a 1–0 victory over Mouscron, establishing himself as a consistent first-team player. Following Westerlo’s demotion in 2012, Annab transitioned to Algerian side ES Sétif, marking a significant move toward his secondary homeland’s football environment. On 5 August 2014, he joined ASV Geel, a club competing in Belgium’s second division.
