Club career

Born in Morocco, Chaira moved to Ripoll, Girona, Catalonia at the age of six with his parents and his brother.[1] He started his career with local side EF Ripollès before joining Girona FC in 2015.[2]

Chaira made his senior debut with the reserves at the age of 17 on 7 April 2019, playing the last 25 minutes of a 2–1 Primera Catalana home loss against CE Banyoles. On 9 September 2020, after finishing his formation, he was loaned to Segunda División B side UD Ibiza until the end of the season.[3]

On 21 August 2021, after contributing with one goal in eight appearances as Ibiza achieved a first-ever promotion to Segunda División, Chaira moved to UE Costa Brava in Primera División RFEF also in a one-year loan deal.[4] On 14 July of the following year, he joined fellow league team San Fernando CD also in a temporary deal.[5]

On 6 July 2023, after scoring 11 goals for Sanfer, Chaira renewed his contract with Girona until 2026, and was loaned to second division side CD Mirandés for the campaign.[6] He made his professional debut on 14 August, coming on as a second-half substitute for goalscorer Carlos Martín in a 4–0 home routing of AD Alcorcón.[7]

On 24 August 2024, Chaira moved to fellow second division side Real Oviedo also on a one-year loan deal.[8]
