On 2 September 2013, Ceppelini joined Slovenian team Maribor, on loan from Cagliari.[5]

In the summer 2014 transfer window he moved from Cagliari to Universitatea Cluj.[6]

He did not return to Cluj in 2015–16, buying out his contract to become a free agent, and was set to play for Montevideo Wanderers from Uruguay.[7]

After playing for Wanderers in 2015/16 he moved to Boston River for the 2016 season. He moved to Danubio for 2018.[5]
