On 8 December 2012, Benyamina made his Bundesliga debut for the first team of VfB Stuttgart in a 3–1 home victory against Schalke 04.
On 1 July 2013, he moved to Dynamo Dresden.[8] After an unsuccessful half-season, in which Benyamina made only four appearances for Dynamo, the club loaned him to 3rd division club Preußen Münster in the winter transfer window.[9] At the end of the season he left Dynamo permanently, signing for SV Wehen Wiesbaden.
In August 2015, Benyamina signed for 3. Liga club Hansa Rostock on a three-year deal.[10]
