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.
