He had another stint in the Serbian top tier in 2012 with Radnicki Kragujevac.[7][8][9] In his debut season with Radnicki, he played 7 matches.[5] After a season with Radnički, he returned to his former club Metalac Gornji Milanovac where he appeared in 8 matches.[5]

He returned to the Serbian second tier the following season to play with Mačva Šabac.[10] In total, he appeared in 6 matches for the club.[5]

In 2018, Zoranović went abroad for the second time this time in the Canadian Soccer League's first division with CSC Mississauga.[18] He split the 2018 season by also playing with Unionville Milliken SC.[19] After a season in Mississauga, he signed with league rivals Scarborough SC for the 2019 CSL season.[20] In his debut season with the eastern Toronto side, he helped the club clinch a playoff berth by finishing as runners-up in the first division.[21] He participated in the CSL Championship final where Scarborough successfully defeated FC Ukraine United.[20][22]

Zoranović signed with the Serbian White Eagles for the 2020 CSL season.[23] The Serbs qualified for the postseason where they were eliminated in the first round by Vorkuta.[24] He re-signed with Serbia for another season where once again the club secured a postseason berth but was eliminated in the opening round by his former club Scarborough.[25]

The 2022 season marked his third stint with the organization.[26] He helped the Serbs in securing the regular-season title including a playoff berth.[27] He also played in the second round of the postseason against FC Continentals where the White Eagles were eliminated.[28]
