After a successful trial, he signed for Football League club, Lincoln City at the start of the 2003–04 season. He made his debut for Lincoln on 9 August 2003, in the 1–0 Division Three home defeat to Oxford United, coming on as a substitute for Simon Weaver in the 64th minute. Three days later, Remy made his last appearance for Lincoln City, in another 1–0 home loss, to Stockport County in the Football League Cup First Round, coming on as a substitute for Rory May in the 84th minute. He was loaned out to non-League football club Kettering Town in September where he made two appearances, scoring once. In October, Remy dropped back into non-League football permanently signing for Isthmian League Premier Division club Grays Athletic for a fee of £5,000, a club record at the time.
In August 2004, Remy joined Redbridge on loan, before eventually signing for the club on a permanent basis in October following his release alongside Daniel Lunan and Chris Wild. He was released late in October due to budget constraints, subsequently moving on to Braintree Town in November, before a short spell at East Thurrock United, and then onto Margate in summer 2005. On leaving East Thurrock, joint manager, Lee Patterson commented saying; "With Tony [Boot] coming it means that Ellis Remy has joined Margate. Ellis is a really nice lad, but wasn't really suited to play up front with Steve West." After leaving Margate, Remy went on to play for Bromley, signing a short-term deal in January 2006, whilst training with Conference National club Dagenham & Redbridge. He went on to join Staines Town in March.

During his loan spell at Potters Bar, he made 13 appearances in the league scoring eight goals. In August 2010, Remy signed for Isthmian League Division One North club Brentwood Town after his release from Bishop's Stortford. Remy signed for Maldon & Tiptree in February 2011 to bolster their attacking options, joint-manager Brad King commented on Remy saying that he "has a good record and a wealth of experience of non-league football".

International career
