After two successful seasons with Asiago, Zanette left as a free agent, along with brother Marc, to sign with Italian-based club

Austrian Hockey League on August 9, 2014.[3]
Zanette successfully completed his trial and signed a one-year contract while his brother failed to catch on.

After his contract expired with Asiago, Zanette joined Scottish club, Edinburgh Capitals of the Elite Ice Hockey League, on a two-year contract.[4] After just 35 games, Zanette's contract was terminated "by mutual consent." He then re-joined former club, HC Asiago, for the balance of the Italian 2015–16 season.
