Al Wahda

In the Summer of 2013, Kharbin joined Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya In the Iraqi Premier League, until 2015.[3]

Al Mina'a (loan)

On 6 August 2015, Kharbin signed for Al Mina'a, signing a one-year contract with the club.[4] After two and a half seasons in the Iraqi league Kharbin moved to the Emarati League in winter 2016.

Al Dhafra (loan)

In January 2016, Al Dhafra signed Kharbin on a one-year loan deal from Al-Wahda, with an option to buy permanently. In his debut, he scored his first goal for his new club against Al Ain FC. From January to May 2016, he played 12 matches, scored 9 goals, and got one assist. The Emirati club signed him permanently in July after an impressive performance. His team finished 8th in the league.

2016–17 season

He continued his outstanding performance, playing 14 matches in the league, scoring 8 goals and getting 4 assists. In January 2017, so many local and Asian clubs tried to sign Kharbin, but failed because his club accepted an offer from Al-Hilal.

Al Hilal (loan)

On 16 January 2017, Al-Hilal signed him on a six-month loan. The loan fee was $1.3 million. Famous Argentinian footballer and the former coach of Al Hilal Ramon Diaz was the one who told the club management to sign him. Kharbin said that he was very happy and is going to achieve his dream to play in Saudi Professional League. On 28 January 2017 he made his debut in a 1–0 win against Al Ittifaq, playing the full 90 minutes. After five days, he scored his first goal and saved Al Hilal from defeat against mid table Al Qadisiyah. The match ended 1–1.

On 9 February, he led his club to a 2–0 victory against Al Faisaly. He made his debut in the AFC Champions League on 21 February against Iranian side Persepolis. The match ended in a 1–1 result and he didn't score in that match. In March 2017, he scored a crucial goal against Al Ittihad FC in the Saudi El Clasico. This was the first goal he had scored against a strong opponent. Omar finally scored a goal in Champions League against Al-Wahda.

On 8 May, he scored twice against Al Rayyan and helped Al Hilal to get first position in Group D of AFC Champions League.

Al-Hilal

On 19 June 2017, Al-Hilal officially bought Kharbin for 44 million riyals on a four-year contract.[5] Omar started the first match of the season against Al-Fayha, and he scored a penalty which made Al-Hilal win 2–1. On 10 August, Omar scored the first goal against Al-Taawoun in the 14th minute, Omar and his team won 4–3.[6] On 26 September 2017, Omar scored a hat trick, beating Persepolis 4–0 in the first leg of their AFC Champions League semi-final. On 17 October 2017, Omar scored both of Al-Hilal's goals against Persepolis in the 2nd leg of the AFC Champions League semi-final, ending the match with a 2–2 draw. Al-Hilal won 6–2 on aggregate, going through to the final, thanks to Omar's 5 goals scored in the 1st and 2nd leg of the semi-final. Al-Hilal however, lost the final to Urawa Red Diamonds with Kharbin scoring in a 1–1 draw in the 1st leg, then a 1–0 loss in the 2nd leg by Rafael Silva sealed the deal for Urawa Red Diamonds and won their second title. Kharbin's injury in a match against Al-Ittihad on 13 January 2018 ruled him out of Al-Hilal's final squad in AFC Champions League 2018.

The following season was complicated from the very beginning, with the new players coming to Al-Hilal. Omar participated in just 4 matches as a substitute in the league after the first half of the season.
