Career
Krebs began his career in his native country with FC Sentheim and joined in 2000 to FC Mulhouse. In summer 2001 he left Mulhouse and signed with RC Strasbourg Alsace where he enjoyed success in the club's youth ranks, helping them through to the final of the Gambardella Cup in 2003.
Krebs finally made his senior debut during the 2005–06 season in a goalless home draw with Sochaux on 3 December 2005. However, he only managed one further league appearance for the club, although he did feature four times in their UEFA Cup campaign that season.

In June 2007, he moved permanently to top flight club Hannover 96 for €500,000 on an initial two-year contract until 30 June 2009.
On 2 June 2009, he signed a three-year contract with Karlsruher SC.[2] With his contract set to expire, Krebs signed a new three-year deal with KSC in May 2012.[3] He was part of the Karlsruhe team that won the 2012–13 3.
