On 13 May 2012, Usai sat on the bench during Rovers 2–1 defeat by Chelsea in their final match of the 2011–12 Premier League season.[5] His call up to the first team was due to both Paul Robinson and Mark Bunn being injured.[6] He left the club on 8 August 2013 after mutually agreeing termination of his contract.[7]

On 31 January 2014, Usai moved from AFC United to Cowdenbeath.[8] On 25 May 2014, he was released by the club.[9]

Brisbane Strikers

On January 1, 2016, Usai returned to the Brisbane Strikers for his second stint at the club.[10] Usai won goalkeeper of the year in his first season back in the NPL QLD and promptly indicated his intention was to return to Europe.[11]

Friska Viljor FC

[edit]

On January 1, 2017, Usai returned to Europe signing with Friska Viljor FC.[12] In October 2019, Usai was nominated for Sweden Division 2 Goalkeeper of the year.[13]
