In October 2018 Ramos was part of a team that traveled to Madrid for matches against Getafe CF, Real Valladolid, and clubs from lower divisions in front of scouts from Spain and Portugal. He also participated in training with Atlético Madrid. [5]
In 2019, it was announced that Ramos would join Latvian club Albatroz SC [6] but he eventually joined AFA Olaine of the Latvian Second League, the third tier of football in the country, instead. [7] The initial deal was for two and a half months. [8] On May 26 he made his debut for the club in a 1–2 defeat to FK Kalupe which saw Olaine knocked out in the first round of the 2019 Latvian Cup. [9] He made his league debut for the club four days later as a starter in a 4–1 league victory over DSVK Traktors. [10] He made his second league appearance for the club on June 2 as he started and played the full 90 minutes of 1–1 draw with FK Lielupe. [11] During the 2019 league season he made three league appearances for the club, scoring one goal, [1] with his goal coming during a 3–2 victory over FK Aliance on June 5, his final appearance for AFA Olaine. [7] Despite his strong performances Ramos was not part of the roster the following season. [12] He was previously also involved with major Latvian club FK Ventspils. [13] [14]
By September 2019, Ramos had returned to the United States and was competing for Winter Haven United FC of the UPSL and quickly won Man-of-the-Match honors. [15] He returned to the club for the 2020 season. [16] In 2022 Ramos and his brother Dylan moved to fellow UPSL side Lakeland United FC.

In March 2022 it was announced that Ramos had committed to play college soccer in the United States for the Roadrunners of Dalton State College.
