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.[15] This also combined with his own injury concern.[16] At the end of the 2005–06 season, making fifteen appearances, the club was promoted to Ligue 1 after three seasons in Ligue 2.[17]

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.[18] 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.[19] Abdou became a first team regular for Sedan since returning from the sideline.[20] However, later in the season, he soon found himself out of the first team, due to being suspended.[21] Abdou played one season in Ligue 1 in the club finished in 19th place and were relegated.

At the start of the 2009–10 season, Abdou scored in Millwall's first game of the season against Southampton, with a header, it turned out to be his only goal of the season.[49] However, shortly after, he suffered an injury during a 4–0 win over AFC Bournemouth and was out for weeks.[50] Abdou made his return from injury, starting the whole game, in a 1–1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion on 29 August 2009.[51] His performance saw him signed a contract extension with the club, keeping him until 2013.[52] During a 4–4 draw against local rivals Charlton Athletic on 19 December 2009, Abdou was sent–off for a professional foul in the 37th minute.

The start of the 2011–12 season saw Abdou receiving his playing time, coming from the substitute bench.[63] He soon continued to establish himself in the first team, playing in the midfield position for Millwall.[64] Throughout the 2011–12 season, Abdou faced his own injury concerns on three separate occasions.[65] Despite this, he continued to be featured in the first team for the club and was praised by manager Jackett.[66] 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.[67] Upon hearing the award, he said: "I would like to thank all the fans who voted for me, and my team mates as well because this is a team game".[67] At the end of the 2011–12 season, Abdou made forty–five appearances in all competitions. Shortly after, Millwall began talks with the player over a new contract.[68] Following this, it was reported that Abdou received treatment over his injury he sustained over the summer.[69]

In the 2012–13 season, Abdou continued to establish himself in the first team, playing in the midfield position for Millwall and formed a partnership with Josh Wright.[70] During a match against Bolton Wanderers on 6 October 2012, he suffered ankle injury and played through the game, as the club won 2–1.[71] Abdou 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.[72] Following this, Abdou signed a two–year contract with Millwall, keeping him until 2015.[73] 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.[74] After the match, he said that given the captaincy was an honour for him.[75] He again captained the club 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.[76] Three days later on 19 February 2013, Abdou captained Millwall for the third time this season, in a 5–1 loss against Peterborough United on 16 February 2013.[77] Manager 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."[78] After appearing two matches as an unused substitute in early–April, he scored on his return to the starting line-up, in a 2–1 loss against Sheffield Wednesday on 9 April 2013.[79] At the end of the 2012–13 season, Abdou made thirty–nine appearances and scoring once in all competitions. However, Kenny Jackett, a manager who signed him, left the club.[48][80]

At the start of the 2013–14 season, Abdou found himself on the substitute bench under the new management of Steve Lomas.[81] By September, he regained his first team place, playing in the midfield position.[82] His return performance received praises by Manager Lomas, saying: "Abdou 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."[83] 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.[84] 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.[85] After sustaining from a groin injury, Abdou returned to the first team and started a number of matches from December and January.[86] 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.[87] Despite this, Abdou only appeared in the four times first team under Holloway, though he made two starts for Millwall.[88] Abdou finished the 2013–14 season, making twenty–seven appearances in all competitions.

In the 2014–15 season, Abdou started Millwall’s first five matches at the start of the season before he missed out three matches, due to being given a compassionate leave.[89] Abdou then returned to the starting line–up, starting the whole game, in a 3–2 loss against Reading on 16 September 2014.[90] A week later on 27 September 2014, he played in the right–back position for the first time, starting the whole game, in a 2–1 loss against Huddersfield Town.[91] 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."[92] As a result, Abdou soon lost his first team place as a result and this lasted until December.[93] He 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.[94] Abdou regained his first team place in the midfield position for the club since returning to the first team and partnered with Shaun Williams.[95] After being dropped on the substitute bench for one match, he then switched to the right–back position for four matches.[96] Towards the end of the 2014–15 season, Abdou then reverted to his midfield position.[97] It was not until on 14 April 2015 when he scored his first goal of the season, in a 2–0 win over Wigan Athletic.[98] However, Millwall was relegated after five seasons in the Championship after Rotherham United's 2–1 win against Reading on 28 April 2015.[99] At the end of the 2014–15 season, Abdou made thirty–seven appearances and scoring once in all competitions.

In the 2016–17 season, Abdou made only three starts for Millwall, including scoring against West Bromwich Albion U23 in the EFL Trophy match.[114] 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."[115] However, Abdou found himself competing in the midfield position against Shaun Williams, Ben Thompson.[116] This resulted him dropping into the substitute bench for most of the 2016–17 season, and to get playing time, he played for the club's reserve side.[117] Despite this, Abdou made first team starts on several occasions throughout the season.[118] Towards the end of the 2016–17 season, he started Millwall’s last four matches, including playing in both legs against Scunthorpe United in the League One play-offs, which the club won 3–2 on aggregate.[119] Abdou started in the League One play-off final, as he helped Millwall beat Bradford City 1–0 to see the club promoted to the Championship.[120] At the end of the 2016–17 season, Abdou went on to make twenty–two appearances and scoring once in all competitions.
