The following season he assisted Scarborough in securing a postseason berth by finishing second in the standings.[25] In the opening round of the playoffs, he contributed two goals against the Serbian White Eagles which helped the club to advance to the championship final.[26] [27] He featured in the championship final against Vorkuta and registered two goals which secured the title for Scarborough.[28] [29] He also helped Scarborough reach the final of the ProSound Cup but was defeated in a penalty shootout by Vorkuta.[30]

He re-signed with Scarborough for the 2022 season.[31] Throughout the 2022 campaign, the eastern Toronto side would achieve an 18-game undefeated streak and playoff position by finishing third.[32] [33] Limane made his third championship appearance, which Scarborough lost to FC Continentals (formerly FC Vorkuta).[34]

In 2023, he signed with league rivals Hamilton City.[35] He scored his first goal for the club on 3 June 2023, against Weston United.[36] He then played with League1 Ontario club Hamilton United.[37]

International career

He made his international debut for the Central African Republic in 8 June 2013, against South Africa in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification match. In the winter of 2013, he represented his country in the 2013 CEMAC Cup, a Non-FIFA tournament where he recorded a goal against Chad.
