He was offered a new contract by Newport at the end of the 2015-16 season but the offer was withdrawn and he was released after he failed to accept the contract by the deadline of 10 June 2016.

In January 2017 he moved to Italy by signing for Virtus Francavilla. In January 2018 he was signed by Bisceglie. After spells at Fidelis Andria, Savoia and Nardò, Ayine moved to Italian amateur club Ellera Calcio in January 2020. In June 2020, he joined Pirin Blagoevgrad.
