In Portugal it was more of a technical skill. Here, where I play, in League 3 for now, there is more intensity and the very important physical factor. There is less emphasis on technical capacity."[6] In 2021, Seymour signed for Dunărea Călărași in the Romanian second division.[7] In 2023, he joined Canadian club Electric City FC in League1 Ontario.[8]
