In 2024, after two seasons with Pau, he joined Clermont.
Club career
Bordeaux
In 2007, Saivet signed his first professional contract with Bordeaux, thus making him the youngest professional player in the history of the club.[1] He subsequently made his professional debut during the 2007–08 season, at the age of 17, in a league match against Lens. Saivet scored a goal in the final of the 2013 Coupe de France to help Bordeaux defeat Evian 3–2.[2]

After playing just four matches starting twice in half a season with Newcastle United, Saivet joined Saint-Étienne on a season-long loan on 23 August 2016 without a purchase option given to Saint-Étienne.[6][7]
On 23 August 2017, Saivet played his first game for Newcastle since 6 February 2016, starting an EFL Cup tie against Nottingham Forest.[8] He was recalled to the first team on 23 December and scored a free kick in a 3–2 Premier League win against West Ham.[9]
On 25 August 2018, it was announced that Saivet would join Turkish club Bursaspor on loan for the season.[10]
Later career
In June 2022, Saivet joined French club Pau.[11] After two seasons with the club, he signed for Clermont on a two-year contract on 13 June 2024.[12]
