In the 2007 summer, Valdomiro joined fellow league team C.D. Trofense after being deemed surplus to requirements by União. Two years later, after appearing regularly, he moved to UAE Arabian Gulf League side Al-Wasl FC.

On 30 December 2009, Valdomiro returned to Portugal, signing an 18-month contract with Vitória de Guimarães.[3] On 27 August of the following year he joined another club in the country and its top flight, Vitória de Setúbal.[4]

In the summer of 2011, Valdomiro switched teams and countries again, signing for Turkish Süper Lig's Samsunspor. He only totalled 226 minutes of action during his spell, and was subsequently released.
