On 4 January 2007, Renato Peixe was signed by Ferroviária, reuniting him with head coach Edison Só, with whom he had won the Paulista A3 with Botafogo de Ribeirão Preto.

[18] Peixe would be named again in the starting lineup on 4 March in a 1–0 home win over XV de Piracicaba and on April 15 in a 3–3 away draw against Votoraty,[19] as Ferroviária finished the first stage at the top of the table.

[21] He was later moved back to defence by coach Edison Só for the remainder of the competition, failing to be constantly figured in the starting XI.

São Bernardo took first place in a group that also featured Linense, Votoraty and Oeste Paulista, achieving promotion for the Série A2 for the first time and qualifying for the finals against Flamengo de Guarulhos.

In the first leg of the Série A3 finals, on 8 June, Renato Peixe scored from a free kick in the 39th minute to tie the game 1–1 at 1º de Maio.

After 14 games, head coach Ivan Baitello put him in the starting lineup on April 3, as he played 72 minutes before being replaced by Marcelinho in a 0–1 loss to São Paulo at Arena Barueri.

[40] His return to Tigre was announced on 31 May 2011, as he signed a one-year contract with the club, reuniting him with head coach Luis Carlos Martins.

[41][42] Peixe made his Copa Paulista return for São Bernardo in a 1–2 defeat away to Juventus, playing the full 90 minutes as a left back.

[45] Renato started in 25 games and scored a total three goals, as São Bernardo was eliminated by Comercial in the Copa Paulista semifinals.

[47] His first goal of the year was scored on 4 February, as he converted a penalty kick suffered by Danielzinho in a 1–2 home loss to Atlético Sorocaba.

[48] On 11 February, he helped Bernô win their first game of the season after five consecutive losses, scoring the third goal in a 4–2 victory against União São João.

[51] After another draw in the second leg, São Bernardo won their first title in club history, as Renato Peixe lifted the Paulista Série A2 trophy as team captain.

[59] He made 24 appearances and scored eight goals in Paulista Série A2, finishing as the club's joint-top goalscorer alongside strikers Jonatas Belusso and Douglas Tanque.

[61] On 12 April, Renato Peixe scored for the first time for Santo André in a derby against bitter rivals São Caetano, netting the third goal in a 3–1 win.

As his wages were deemed too high for Copa Paulista standards, Renato Peixe was loaned together with three more players to São Caetano for the 2014 Brasileirão Série C.[63] At Anacleto Campanella, he was reunited with former Santo André head coach Vilson Taddei.

In January 2017, aged 37, he signed for Paulista Série A3 club São José dos Campos, looking to provide veteran leadership to a group of youngsters.

He made his debut on 29 January, playing the full 90 minutes and appearing as a playmaking midfielder in a 0–1 defeat to his former club Monte Azul.

[70] On 8 February Renato Peixe scored his first São José dos Campos goal in a last-minute penalty kick to secure a 1–0 away win over Matonense.

[72] After serving a one-game suspension, he was back in the starting lineup for the 5 March clash against Portuguesa Santista, scoring a penalty kick for the team's lone goal in a 1–3 loss.

[76] He left São José dos Campos at the end of the 2017 Paulista Série A3, featuring in 17 league matches and scoring five goals, the second most in the team.

In October 2018, Wilson, Renato and fitness coach Deivid Marques signed with fellow Série A2 side Nacional, but after two months and no official matches, the trio returned to Tigre.
