He was released by Wolves at the end of the 2017–18 season. Armstrong then signed a short-term contract with Raith Rovers, and scored five goals in 11 appearances for the Kirkcaldy club.[5] Armstrong moved to Scottish Championship club Ross County in January 2019.[5] He scored on his debut for Ross County against East Fife in the Scottish Challenge Cup. Armstrong left County on 2 September 2019,[6] and then returned to Raith Rovers in October 2019.[7]
After four seasons with Kilmarnock, Armstrong signed for Romanian club Dinamo București.[8]
