A win would have won the championship for the Cape Town side.

On 27 June 2011, the Norwegian club FK Haugesund announced that they had signed Decamps on a one-year contract.[4] After one year Decamps was a regular starter for Haugesund in Tippeligaen, and the club wanted to renew his contract, but Decamps chose to move home to his family in France when his contract expired on 31 July 2012.[5] In August 2013 he signed a loan contract with Sarpsborg 08 out the season.

In January 2014 he moved to the Norwegian Tippeliga club, Sandnes Ulf.
