After an impressive performance in the African Nations Cup where Burkina Faso lost in the finals to Nigeria, Roumba began to attract more serious attention. On 28 March 2013, Rouamba signed a contract with English club Charlton Athletic until the end of the 2013 season.[3] This was possible because the transfer rules state that players without a club may join a club any time as was the case in joining Charlton Athletic.[4] At the end of the 2012–13 season, he left Charlton without making any first-team appearances.

On 8 January 2014, Rouamba joined French Ligue 2 side CA Bastia.
