The following season he scored again in another PAOK victory over Aris at Toumba Stadium by 1–0.[5] The completion of the competitive obligations found Zoumboulis again top scorer of the club with 13 goals, a performance that at the same time elevated him to the tenth place in the table of scorers of the league.[6]

Despite usually playing as a substitute, he scored 6 goals in 17 appearances.[7] The following season he was transferred to Skoda Xanthi, where in his first season he scored 11 goals in the league, a performance that brought him to the eighth place in the table of scorers together with Saša Jovanović and Frousos.[8] In December 2001, his contract with Xanthi was expiread and then he moved to Apollon Kalamarias where he played in the second division. He then played for Kerkyra in 2003 for a while, before moving to Rodos for a season and then to Levadiakos, where he played until 2005 before returning to Edessaikos, where he ended his career in 2007. At the first division, Zoumboulis scored 71 goals in 243 appearances.[9]
