On 27 June 2015, Postiga signed a three-year contract with Rio Ave FC. On 12 January of the following year, having not featured at all in competitive games, he returned to the second division after being loaned to nearby Varzim for the remainder of the season. Eleven days later, he made his debut for his new team, replacing Elísio for the final 23 minutes of a 4–0 win at Leixões SC; his only goal for the Poveiros came in his final game on 8 May, concluding a 2–0 win at relegated Clube Oriental de Lisboa again from the bench.
