The following season he remained in the Bosnian top tier and secured a deal with NK Travnik.[7] He made his debut for Travnik on August 12, 2012, against former club Sarajevo. His tenure was cut short with Travnik as he departed during the January transfer window.[8] [9] Throughout his stint with Travnik, he appeared in 7 matches. For the remainder of the 2012–13 season, he played in the First League of Bosnia and Herzegovina with Bosna Visoko.[10] In 2013, he played with NK Famos Hrasnica.[11]

He re-signed with Milton for another season in 2016 where he was named the team captain.[18] Smajić assisted the club in securing a playoff berth where they were eliminated in the first round by York Region Shooters.[19] He finished as the team's top goal scorer with 12 goals which ranked him third in the overall scoring charts.
