Galabov made his competitive debut on 12 December 2012 in a Bulgarian Cup game against Spartak Varna, coming on as a substitute in the 56th minute. Litex won the game by a score of 7–1. A year later, on 14 December 2013, he made his A PFG debut in a 5–2 away win over Lokomotiv Plovdiv, playing the full 90 minutes, though he was sent off for a second yellow card in the closing moments of the match.[3]
