After being rarely used, Kempes moved to Espírito Santo and played for Estrela do Norte[4] and Vitória, winning the 2006 Campeonato Capixaba with the latter.[5] Spells at Sertãozinho and 15 de Novembro de Campo Bom followed before signing a contract with Ceará on 11 July 2007.[6]
In 2008 Kempes joined Caxias,[7] and after being the club's top goalscorer in the year's Campeonato Gaúcho, signed for Ipatinga on loan;[8] at the latter he scored his first top tier goal, in a 2–1 home win against Fluminense on 10 August.[9] On 11 January 2009, he was presented at Criciúma.[10]
On 4 June 2009, Kempes was transferred to Portuguesa, who bought 70% of his federative rights.[11] He failed to impress during his spell at Lusa, and subsequently served loan spells at Novo Hamburgo,[12] Ceará,[13] América Mineiro[14] and Cerezo Osaka before joining JEF United Chiba permanently on 1 February 2013.[15]
Kempes returned to Brazil on 2 March 2015, signing for Joinville.[16] On 16 December 2015, he joined state rivals Chapecoense.[17]
