Nyazamba signed a developmental contract with the Columbus Crew on September 15, 2008, filling the roster spot of the waived Ryan Miller.[3][4] He made his Black & Gold debut on June 30, 2009 in the Crew's 2009 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup third round match against the Rochester Rhinos, then of the USL First Division. In what was his only first-team game with Columbus, Nyazamba played the full 120 minutes and assisted on the Duncan Oughton goal that sent the match into extra time.
He signed with new USSF Division 2 franchise FC Tampa Bay in March 2010. On February 14, 2011, Nyazamba returned to the Richmond Kickers, signing with the club that had recently moved into the newly formed USL Pro league.[5]
