On 15 July 2016, Rambé moved to Romanian side Universitatea Craiova, joining compatriots Kay and Nuno Rocha.^[12]^[13] He left in January 2017,^[14] signing with 1º de Agosto of the Angolan Girabola the following month.^[15]

After two years without a club, Rambé returned to his homeland in September 2019 to sign a one-year contract with Académica do Mindelo.^[16]
