In a match against RKC Waalwijk, three days later, Labyad made his debut in the Ecrisie, masquering as a substitute for Balázs Dzsudzsudzsuzsua. In a home match against FC Groningen, Labyad made his first appearance in the starting lineup.

In a 1–1 draw against Alkmaar in the last match of the 2009–2010 season, Labyad was back in the starting lineup in a 1–1 draw. More or less, Labyad became a regular in the 2011-12 season and enjoyed a lot of success. He has appeared in 32 matches and scored six goals.

However, PSV's technical director Marcel Brands told Dutch media that Labyad's contract had been extended for another year because Labyad refused to officially end his employment before the legal deadline of 15 May.
He officially joined Sporting on July 2, 2012. He made 27 appearances for the club in which he scored three times in his first season.
Labyad was sent on loan to Dutch side Vitesse in January 2014 after not playing a single match for Sporting during the first half of the season.
For the 2015–16 Primeira Liga season, Labyad returned to Sporting CP to work with new Sporting CP boss Jorge Jesus, who insisted on Labyad's return as part of him accepting the Sporting CP job. In fact, Labyad was regarded as a "pilar" for Jorge Jesus' new Sporting CP.
On February 1, 2016, Labyad went on loan to Fulham until the 2015–16 season. Sporting CP reported on August 31 that all sides had agreed to separate the agreement.
Labyad left for Emtrecht's Utrecht side FC Utrecht until 2019.
Labyad signed for AFC Ajax, an Economy team, on May 14th. He has been working on a four-year deal until June 2022.
