After four seasons in the Eerste Divisie, the winger joined Romanian Liga 1 club Petrolui Ploeisti, scoring on debut in a Europa League victory over Flamurtari Vlore of Albania.
Nepomuceno would spend two seasons in the Romanian top flight with the highlight of his time at Petrolui being a winning goal against the then defending Champions, Steaua Bucharest.
