On 17 February 2024, Skrabb was officially named the captain of Kalmar FF for the 2024 season.[9]
Volos
Skrabb left Kalmar after the relegation and signed with Super League Greece club Volos, starting in January 2025.[10] He made his Greek league debut on 5 January, as a starter in a 4–2 away defeat against AEK Athens. Skrabb scored his first goal in the league on 1 February, in a 1–1 draw against Panserraikos.
Polonia Warsaw
