He was put on waivers by Toronto FC on 5 March 2014.[11]

After being waived by Toronto FC, Lambe joined Nyköpings BIS of Sweden's Division 1 Norra. Over three months, Lambe made twelve appearances for the club, scoring one goal before leaving. After leaving Nyköpings, Lambe had a short trial with Mansfield Town before officially signing for the club for the 2014–15 season on 17 September 2014.[12] Three days later, Lambe was named to the lineup as a substitute for Mansfield Town's league match against Carlisle United.[13] Lambe went on to debut for the club in the match, coming on as a 74th-minute substitute for Fergus Bell.[14]
