Sevikyan made his senior debut with the reserves on 19 January 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute for Álex Blesa in a 0–1 Segunda División B away loss against CE Sabadell FC.[5] He was handed his first start seven days later, and scored his team's second in a 3–1 away defeat of Hércules CF.[6]
