In the 2005–06 season, Abdou found himself behind the pecking order in the first team and came on as a substitute in number of matches, due to his poor performances.[12] This also combined with his own injury concern.[13] At the end of the 2005–06 season, making fifteen appearances, the club was promoted to Ligue 1 after three seasons in Ligue 2.[14]
In the 2006–07 season, Abdou missed the first half of the season, due to being suspended and playing in the club's reserve side.[15] It was not until on 18 November 2006 when he made his first Ligue 1 appearance of the season, coming on as a substitute for Jérôme Le Moigne in the 49th minute, and scored an own goal, in a 1–0 loss against Lyon.[16] Abdou became a first team regular for the side since returning from the sideline.[17] However, later in the season, he soon found himself out of the first team, due to being suspended.[18] Abdou played one season in Ligue 1 in Sedan finished in 19th place and were relegated.

In the 2011–12 season, Abdou started out when he came on as a substitute at the start of the season.[58] Abdou soon continued to establish himself in the first team, playing in the midfield position for the side.[59] During the season, he faced injury concerns on three occasions.[60] Despite this, Abdou continued to be featured in the first team for the side and was praised by Manager Jackett.[61] In April 2012, Abdou was named as the club's Player of the Year for the 2011–12 season after a vote by Millwall's supporters.[62] "I would like to thank all the fans who voted for me, and my team mates as well because this is a team game," he said after hearing of the award.[62] At the end of the 2011–12 season, making forty–five appearances for the side, the club began talks with Abdou over a new contract.[63] Following this, it was reported that Abdou received treatment over his injury he sustained over the summer.[64]
In the 2012–13 season, Abdou continued to establish himself in the first team, playing in the midfield position for the side and formed a partnership with Josh Wright.[65] During a match against Bolton Wanderers on 6 October 2012, Abdou suffered ankle injury and played through the game, as Millwall won 2–1.[66] He soon recovered after a two weeks international break and started the whole game, in a 2–2 draw against rivals, Crystal Palace on 20 October 2012.[67] Following this, Abdou signed a two–year contract with the club, keeping him until 2015.[68] After missing two matches in mid–December, due to suspension and given a compassionate leave, Abdou then appointed as a captain in a FA Cup match, in a 1–0 win over Preston North End.[69] After the match, he said that given the captaincy was an honour for him.[70] He again captained the side once again on 16 February 2013 against Luton Town in the fifth round of the FA Cup and beat them 3–0 to progress to the next round.[71] Three days later on 19 February 2013, Abdou captained the side for the third time this season, in a 5–1 loss against Peterborough United on 16 February 2013.[72] AManager Jackett mentioned Abdou in the post-game interview, quoting: "You could see the danger from the sidelines – not enough players on the pitch could sense that danger and were able to react or cut the ball out – probably Jimmy Abdou apart."[73] After appearing two matches as an unused substitute in early–April, Abdou scored on his return to the starting line-up, in a 2–1 loss against Sheffield Wednesday on 9 April 2013.[74] At the end of the 2012–13 season, making 39 appearances and scoring once, Kenny Jackett, a manager who signed him, left the club.[75]
At the start of the 2013–14 season, Abdou found himself on the substitute bench under the new management of Steve Lomas.[76] By September, he regained his first team place, playing in the midfield position.[77] His return performance received praises by Manager Lomas, saying: "He is a better player than he is given him credit for and he can pass the ball. I keep hearing people say he can't pass the ball. I watch him in training every day and he can pass the ball. He has bided his time, got in the team and like I’ve said to the lads when you are in the team, keep the shirt."[78] Abdou then set up a goal for Scott Malone to score the club's second goal of the game, in a 2–0 win over Leeds United on 28 September 2013.[79] However, he was sent–off for a second bookable offence in the 85th minute, in a 1–1 draw against Reading on 26 October 2013.[80] After sustaining from a groin injury, Abdou returned to the first team and started a number of matches from December and January.[81] However, he soon lost his first team place following the new management of Ian Holloway and found himself in the substitute bench later in the season.[82] Despite this, Abdou appeared in the four times first team under Holloway and finished the 2013–14 season, making twenty–seven appearances.[83]
In the 2014–15 season, Abdou started the first five matches at the start of the season before missing out three matches, due to being given a compassionate leave.[84] He then returned to the starting line–up, starting the whole game, in a 3–2 loss against Reading on 16 September 2014.[85] A week later on 27 September 2014, Abdou played in the right–back position for the first time, starting the whole game, in a 2–1 loss against Huddersfield Town.[86] Due to facing competition in the midfield position, Holloway acknowledged his first team status, saying: "Abdou was playing very well in midfield so I don't know what I'll do with him. I was really surprised by how well he did against Forest – against one of the best wingers in the division."[87] As a result, he soon lost his first team place as a result and this lasted until December.[88] Abdou made his return to the first team, coming on as a late substitute, in a 1–0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on 12 December 2014.[89] He regained his first team place in the midfield position for the side since returning to the first team and partnered with Shaun Williams.[90] After being dropped on the substitute bench for one match, Abdou then switched to the right–back position for four matches.[91] Towards the end of the 2014–15 season, he then reverted to his midfield position.[92] It was not until on 14 April 2015 when Abdou scored his first goal of the season, in a 2–0 win over Wigan Athletic.[93] However, the club was relegated after five seasons in the Championship after Rotherham United's 2–1 win against Reading on 28 April 2015.[94] At the end of the 2014–15 season, making thirty–seven appearances and scoring once for the side, Abdou was named as the club's Player of the Year once again for the 2014–15 season after a vote by Millwall's supporters, as well as, winning two more awards.[95] He was also signed a two–year contract extension after being offered by the club.[96]

In the 2016–17 season, Abdou appeared three matches, starting all of them, and then scored against West Bromwich Albion U23.[108] After the match, Manager Neil Harris said: "What Jimmy's got is the ability to make a forward run at the right time. I'm always on at Jim – and I’ve known him a long time – about finishing, finishing, finishing. The way we play and the form we’ve been in over the last 10 months our midfield players should be scoring goals. Jimmy had three really good opportunities last week (against Nottingham Forest) that could have won us the game comfortably, and he didn't take them. So I'm really pleased that he scored."[109] However, he found himself competing in the midfield position against Shaun Williams, Ben Thompson.[110] This resulted him dropped into the substitute bench for the most of the 2016–17 season and to get playing time, Abdou played for the club's reserve side.[111] Despite this, Abdou made first team starts on several occasions throughout the season.[112] Towards the end of the 2016–17 season, he was the last four starts for the side, including playing in both legs against Scunthorpe United in the League One play-offs and won 3–2 on aggregate.[113] Abdou started in the League One play-off final, as he helped the side beat Bradford City 1–0 to see the side promoted to the Championship.[114] At the end of the 2016–17 season, Abdou went on to make twenty–two appearances and scoring once for the side.
