In the summer of 2019, Habti was called up to the first team by Patrice Carteron and flied to Agadir for a preseason camp held between the 12th and 21 July.[1] He made his debut in a friendly match against the English side of Oldham Athletic FC alongside Mahmoud Benhalib and Mouhcine Iajour in the front line.[2]
On 10 August in Banjul, he made his professional debut during the first game of the season against Brikama United in the first round of the 2019-20 Champions League (draw 3-3).[3]
On 10 January 2020, he made it to the starting line-up for the first time under Jamal Sellami against JS Kabylie at the 1 November 1954 Stadium in Tizi-Ouzou in the group stage of the Champions League (draw 0-0).[4]
On 15 January 2021, the club announced the extension of Zakaria Habti's contract until the end of the 2023–2024 season.[5]
