Fabio made his debut with Negeri playing against LionsXII on 13 April 2013. He scored 1 goal during that match that ended draw 1–1.[4] During 2013 Malaysia Cup playoff playing against Sabah Fabio scored 1 goal in the match that ended his team won, 4–0.[5] He also scored the opening goal in his team Negeri Sembilan's 2–0 win over Terengganu at the Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium in the 2013 Malaysia Cup Match on the 20 August 2013. He later fired in the equaliser in Negeri Sembilan's 1-1 draw with Kelantan cancelling Dickson Nwakaeme's early strike at the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium in Paroi and hit a brace in Negeri Sembilan's shocking 3-2 upset win against the same opponents Kelantan at the Sultan Mohamed IV Stadium in Kota Bharu.
