In 2023, he returned to the CSL to sign with Scarborough SC.[10] He would record his first goal for the eastern Toronto side on September 9, 2023, against Ooty Black Pearl.[11] Amadeo would help the club win the regular-season title.[12]

Amadeo was selected to represent the South Sudan national football team in the 2013 CECAFA Cup.[13][14] He made his debut for the national team on November 27, 2013, against Zanzibar.[8] He made another appearance in the regional tournament against Kenya coming on as a substitute.[15][16] Amadeo would also play against Ethiopia in the final match of the group stage.[8]

He returned to the international scene to participate in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification in a qualifier match against Mali.[17][18] He would feature in the match against Mali where South Sudan was eliminated from contention.[19]
