He was released in 2005 when his contract expired.[7][8]

He then signed for Egyptian Premier League club Asyut Cement SC,[9] before joining Chinese club Liaoning Whowin. He subsequently changed continents once again, joining Indianapolis Braves.[10]

Croissant then signed for the Bahrain club Al-Najma in June 2007. In August 2007, he scored his first goal with the Bahraini club against Al Wakrah during the Gulf CupinAbu Dhabi.[11] In his first season with Al-Najma, he won the Bahraini King's Cup, qualifying for the 2008 AFC Cup.

In November 2008, he signed for Tampines Rovers in the Singapore S.League, winning both the S.League and the Singapore Charity Shield in 2011 and 2012 consecutively.
