In 2018, the Lambert twins moved to Europe, and trialed with sides including Sparta Rotterdam and FC Dordrecht. The pair eventually signed for Dutch Tweede Divisie side Achilles '29. However, they left the club after it suffered relegation at the end of the 2017–18 Tweede Divisie.
The twins then moved to Eerste Divisie side FC Den Bosch in 2018. Their first-team opportunities were limited by the arrival of several other foreign players shortly after their signing.
