Ahead of the 2019–20 season, Addae joined Juve Stabia in Serie B on a two-year contract.[14] He made his debut 25 August 2019, after playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 loss against Empoli.[15] In his only season with the club, he played 28 league matches and scored 2 goals.[1]
On 10 September 2020 he moved to Romania and signed with Hermannstadt.[16]
