In 2021, he made a surprise comeback and signed for Newcastle Diamonds for the SGB Championship 2022[8] but Newcastle folded in June resulting in Complin signing for Plymouth Gladiators in August and he finished the 2022 season with them.

In 2023, he signed for Glasgow Tigers for the SGB Championship 2023, where he won the league title.[9] [10][11] He also signed for Mildenhall Fen Tigers for the 2023 NDL.[12] In 2023, he helped Mildenhall win the Knockout Cup[13] and was named the team's captain.[14]

He re-signed for Glasgow for the 2024 season[15] but was suspended for 20 months for failing a drugs test.[16]
