Club career edit

Drida started his career playing for UTA Arad, from where he was also loaned to Motorul CFR Arad and Romvest Arad and in 2004 he is signed by Jiul Petroşani.

A new transfer, this time to Steaua Bucharest, his favourite team in football, followed in 2006. However, Drida failed to impress coach Cosmin Olăroiu and he is loaned back to his former club during the 2006–07 season.

Politehnica Iasi edit

In June 2010 he joined Politehnica Iași but after only one season, he was transferred to FC Milsami, in Moldova.
