Career
When Salaber was 10 years old, he and his parents left Spain and fled to Nîmes to escape the country's regime.[1][2] In 1948, he joined the academy of Nîmes Olympique, where he made his debut in a 1–1 draw with Saint-Étienne in February 1956, aged 19.[1] While at Nîmes, he played in the 1958 Coupe de France final, where Nîmes lost to Stade de Reims.[1]
In December 1960, Salaber joined Sedan in a swap deal involving midfielder Christian Oliver.[2] There, he would win the Coupe de France in the 1960–61 season,[3] against Nîmes.[1] In the 1961–62 European Cup Winners' Cup, he scored against Atlético Madrid in a 4–1 loss at the Estadio Metropolitano.[2] Salaber would also play in both matches of the 1965 Coupe de France final, where Sedan lost in a replay against Stade Rennais.[2]
Following his retirement, he returned to Nîmes, where he worked as a coach. He also coached teams in Beaucaire and Montfrin.[1]
