He played two seasons in that club's first team in the Eredivisie, and appeared twice in the 2005–06 UEFA Cup. He signed for AZ in 2006, and was loaned to Roda JC for the 2006–07 season to gain more experience.{{cite news |url=http://sport.nieuws.nl/245924 |title=AZ verhuurt aankoop Agustien aan Roda JC |language=nl |trans-title=AZ loan new signing Agustien to Roda JC |work=nieuws.nl |date=24 June 2006 |access-date=12 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120524054035/http://sport.nieuws.nl/245924 |archive-date=24 May 2012 }}
Agustien joined English Championship club Birmingham City in July 2008 on a season loan, with an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the 2008–09 season for a fee of €2 million.{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/birmingham_city/7532995.stm |title=Birmingham land Agustien on loan |publisher=BBC |date=30 July 2008 |access-date=12 October 2012}} He made his first-team debut in the League Cup defeat at Southampton on 26 August 2008,{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/7576413.stm |title=Southampton 2–0 Birmingham |publisher=BBC |date=28 August 2008 |access-date=12 October 2013}} and played his first match in the Football League four days later in a 1–1 draw at Norwich City.{{cite web|url=http://www.bcfc.com/page/MatchReport/0,,10412~43794,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120218033635/http://www.bcfc.com/page/MatchReport/0%2C%2C10412~43794%2C00.html |archive-date=18 February 2012 |title=First Team Match Report: Norwich 1 Birmingham 1 |publisher=Birmingham City FC |date=30 August 2008 |access-date=12 October 2013 |url-status=dead }} Having missed pre-season training because of a hernia operation, he did not adapt immediately to the pace and physicality of English football.{{cite news |url=http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/im-getting-there-says-kemy-69157 |title=I'm getting there, says Kemy Agustien |newspaper=Birmingham Mail |first=Colin |last=Tattum |date=11 September 2008 |access-date=13 October 2013}} He played 20 games in all competitions, but the second half of his season was dogged by injury. Birmingham manager Alex McLeish "couldn't commit [himself] to bringing him in for the money asked", so Agustien returned to AZ when his contract expired on 26 May 2009.{{cite web|url=http://www.bcfc.com/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10412~1652033,00.html |title=Squad rebuilding begins |publisher=Birmingham City F.C. |date=8 May 2009 |access-date=12 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120218025408/http://www.bcfc.com/page/News/NewsDetail/0%2C%2C10412~1652033%2C00.html |archive-date=18 February 2012 |url-status=dead }}

By February 2011, Agustien was anxious for regular first-team football, and suggested that there had been interest from clubs in taking him on loan, but manager Brendan Rodgers considered him part of the Swansea squad.{{cite news|title=Agustien claims loan interest|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/6764554/| publisher=Sky Sports|date=19 February 2011|access-date=29 May 2012}} Agustien signed on loan for Crystal Palace on 8 March for the rest of the season.{{cite news|url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_6801763,00.html|title=Palace take Agustien on loan|access-date=8 March 2011|date=8 March 2011|publisher=Sky Sports}} He made his debut against Barnsley in a 2–1 victory for Palace.{{cite web|url=http://www.cpfc.co.uk/page/MatchReport/0,,10323~51915,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111206020235/http://www.cpfc.co.uk/page/MatchReport/0%2C%2C10323~51915%2C00.html |archive-date= 6 December 2011 |title=Crystal Palace vs Barnsley |publisher=Crystal Palace FC |date=2 April 2011 |access-date=12 October 2013 |url-status=dead }}
He made his Premier League debut for the newly promoted Swansea in a 4–0 loss against Manchester City,{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/14440546.stm | publisher=BBC Sport |first=Aled |last=Williams | title=Man City 4–0 Swansea | date=15 August 2011 |access-date=29 May 2012}} but suffered a hamstring injury in September, and was restricted to one brief substitute appearance in the next three months.{{cite news|title=Swans suffer Agustien blow|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7173224/|publisher=Sky Sports|date=12 September 2011|access-date=14 February 2012}}{{Soccerbase season|48342|2011|name=Kemy Agustien|access-date=29 May 2012}} In the 1–1 draw with Queens Park Rangers at the end of December, Agustien started in central midfield, but following an injury to Àngel Rangel he spent the second half at right back, a position he had never played before; he was named man of the match:
