[3] [4] Severin started to play regularly for Hearts in the 1999–2000 season, making 28 appearances in all competitions and scoring his first professional goal in a Scottish League Cup match against Queen of the South. Hearts finished the season in third place, earning them qualification for the UEFA Cup and Severin's form earned him a new contract until 2004.

[12] Severin scored his first goal for Watford in a first round League Cup tie at Underhill Stadium against Barnet on 11 August 2009. [13] On 1 February 2010, he joined Kilmarnock on loan until the end of the 2009–10 season. [14] Severin made his first team debut for Kilmarnock a day later, as an 80th-minute substitute in a 1–0 Scottish Premier League win against Celtic. [15]

A.  ^ Includes appearances in European competition.
B.  ^ For the 2007/08 season, Soccerbase has not recorded Severin's appearance for Aberdeen away to Dnipro [23] in the UEFA Cup, so his European appearances for that season should be 8, not the 7 they have listed. Likewise with his overall total it should be one higher than they have listed.
