Aley re-joined Conference National side Southport on an initial one-month loan on 21 October 2011. He went out on loan again at the end of that season, this time at Macclesfield Town.[6] In the summer of 2012 Zac was released by Blackburn Rovers, Aley went on trial with Southport. On 14 September 2012, he joined Northern Premier League side Warrington Town on a free transfer, but left the club less than two months later in November 2012 by mutual consent.[7] On 9 November 2012, Zac signed with Ashton Town in the North West Counties Football League.[8] In October 2016, he signed for Runcorn Linnets.[9] In December 2020, Aley signed for City of Liverpool.[10][11]
