He was transferred to Yugoslav First League side Vardar in 1979, making more than 100 appearances over four seasons in the top flight. In the summer of 1983, Banković signed with Red Star Belgrade, winning the 1983–84 Yugoslav First League title. He left the club in the 1985 transfer window and went to Radnički Niš.[2]
In 1989, Banković moved abroad to Turkey and briefly played for Altay in the top flight. He subsequently returned to his homeland, spending some time with OFK Beograd and Jastrebac Niš. In the 1993 winter transfer window, Banković rejoined Radnički Niš. He served as the club's player-manager in early 1994.[3]
