Velkoski signed a three-year deal with Enosis Neon Paralimni on 18 June 2010 but his journey did not last long as Velkoski and the club mutually agreed to terminate his contract on 14 December 2010. He then signed a two-year deal with his former team Rabotnički in January 2011 and holds the record as top scorer in UEFA Club Competitions for the club.
In January 2014, Velkoski joined Bosnian Premier League club Sarajevo signing a 2+1⁄2-year contract.[1] After Sarajevo, he played for Incheon United and Nakhon Ratchasima. In 2017, Velkoski returned to Sarajevo.
