Close

Rouamba began his career with Union Sportive de Ouagadougou and was in January 2006 scouted from Sheriff Tiraspol. They won in 2006 the league and cup also the double with FC Sheriff.^[1] He won the Moldova Championship and Cup in 2008.^[2] A highlight of his career was when he scored a 40-yard goal in the Europa Cup against AZ Alkmaar.

After an impressive performance in the African Nations Cup where Burkina Faso lost in the finals to Nigeria, Roumba began to attract more serious attention. 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.

On 8 January 2014, Rouamba joined French Ligue 2 side CA Bastia.

Rouamba had played for the Burkina Faso under-21 team. He is current member for the senior team of his homeland Burkina Faso.^[5]
