After his contract expired with Asiago, Zanette joined Scottish club, Edinburgh Capitals, of the Elite Ice Hockey League on a two-year contract.[4] During his first season with the Capitals, Zanette drew a close to his tenure in the EIHL after 35 games, opting to finish the season with previous club, HC Asiago.
On July 21, 2016, Zanette returned to North America in signing a one-year ECHL contract with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits.[5]
