Playing only 7 matches at the Ligue 2 campaign, Vallar left for Penafiel in 2006. Without a single appearance with the Portuguese club, he was released in 2007, joining Réunionese club AS Excelsior in 2008, returning to France in the same year to play for CFA club FC Montceau.

In 2009, Vallar returned to his homeland to play for AS Dragon, winning the Tahiti First Division in 2011–12.[2]
