Career

Utrecht

Chaiat began his professional career at FC Utrecht. On 11 April 2003, he made his debut in an Eredivisie-match against Willem II which ended 1–1.[2] In his first season in Utrecht, he played seven league-matches and scored two goals. The following year, he was mostly on the bench or a reserve.

Volendam and De Graafschap

In the 2004–05 season, Chaiat was signed by FC Volendam, who then played in the Eerste Divisie. He stayed in Volendam for four years and eventually won the league in 2008, and therefore promotion to the Eredivisie. Subsequently, Chaiat becomes heavily injured in a friendly against the Suriprofs. De Graafschap had already signed him on a pre-contract prior to the injury.[3] On 20 July 2010, his contract was terminated after he gained too much weight, after more than a year of medical rehabilitation, since the injury.[4][5]

AGOVV

Hereafter, Chaiat signed a contract with AGOVV Apeldoorn.[6][7]

He later played for amateur sides FC Presikhaaf[8] and NVC.[9]
