Manuel Frédéric Cabit (born 3 June 1993) is a Martiniquais former professional footballer who played as a left-back.

In June 2017, he received a call up to the Martinique national team's preliminary 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup squad, but was left out the final roster.[2]

Club career[edit]

After making his semi-professional debut in the French lower divisions for Aubervilliers, he moved to Chambly before a spell with Belfort and Béziers.[3]

Ajaccio[edit]

Cabit joined full professional team AC Ajaccio on 21 July 2016.[4] He made his professional debut in the following weeks, in a 2–1 Ligue 2 victory against Troyes.[5]

During the 2017–18 season, his impressive form helped Ajaccio reach the Ligue 2 promotion playoffs final, however the club lost against Ligue 1 side Toulouse in the final over two legs in May 2018, for Toulouse to remain in Ligue 1.[6]

Metz[edit]

Cabit moved to Metz on 13 June 2019 on a three-year contract.[7] In November 2019 he was seriously injured in a car crash which also involved team-mate Kévin N'Doram, who was not hurt.[8] He never played for Metz for the remainder of his contract and retired after it expired.

International career[edit]

Cabit is eligible to represent both Martinique national football team and France national football team.[1]

In June 2017, he was called up to a 40-man preliminary squad for Martinique national football team for the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup,[2] however he was left out of the final 23 man squad.[9]
