At the end of November 2009, he joined Stafford Rangers on a loan for one month.

Ojamaa signed a three month contract with Finnish club RoPS after his release from Alemannia Aachen. Despite making a big impression Finland he could not prevent the clubs relegation from the Veikkausliiga, scoring 2 goals in 17 appearances.
