PSV (Loan)
From July 12, 2015, Lestienne was loaned out to PSV Eindhoven until the end of the 2015-16 season. PSV decided not to exercise its option to buy the player at the end of the loan spell.

On 5 July 2016, he moved to Russian club FC Rubin Kazan.[4]

Lestienne was called up to the Belgium national football team for the friendly against USA in May 2013, but did not play.
