Cousin played in the lower leagues in France for [[FC Martigues|Martigues]] and [[Chamois Niort FC|Niort]] before moving to [[Le Mans Union Club 72]].

He joined [[RC Lens]] in the summer of 2004. Whilst at [[RC Lens]] he appeared in the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] in both 2005–06 and 2006–07 starting 13 games with 2 appearances as a substitute netting 8 goals in the process.
