On January 5, 2021, Servania was one of six FC Dallas players who went on a three-week training stint with German Bundesliga side Bayern Munich.[4] On February 9, 2021, he moved on loan to Austrian Bundesliga side St. Pölten.[5]

Servania received his first call-up to the senior United States team in January 2020, and his first cap in a victory over Costa Rica.[8]
In mid-December 2020, Servania was called up by Puerto Rico at senior level for a training camp in the Dominican Republic from January 10 to 20, 2021.[9] Servania declined the Puerto Rico invitation.[10]

Both players played the entire match, Brandon in the midfield and Jaden in the attack.[14]
