Laubi joined FC Basel's first team during their 1900–01 FC Basel season. After playing in two test games Laubi played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game on 10 February 1901 as Basel were defeated 2–3 by Fire Flies Zürich.[1] For the team this was a bad season, they ended the season in fifth position in the group stage.
A curiosity in this season was the away game on 3 March 1901. This was an away game against Grasshopper Club and it ended in a 3–13 defeat. The reasons for this high defeat can be explained with the fact that one of the players missed the train and that the team played with a number of players from their reserve team. Nevertheless, to date this remains the teams’ highest and biggest defeat in the club’s history.[2]
Laubi scored his first goal for his club during the next season, on 3 November 1901 in the away game as Basel won 4–1 against Fortuna Basel.[3] Compared to the previous season, Basel played better this league season and ended the group stage in second position in the table.[4]
He was with the team for four seasons and during this time Laubi played a total of 36 games for Basel scoring a total of six goals. 19 of these games were in the Nationalliga A and 17 were friendly games. He scored three goals in the domestic league and the other three were scored during the test games.[5]
