After not receiving much playing time, the loan was cancelled in the 2012 winter transfer window before Ristovski was then loaned to Frosinone to close the 2011/12 season. On 5 July 2012, Stefan was again sent on loan by Parma, this time to Serie B side Bari. In January 2015 he was signed by U.S. Latina Calcio in a temporary deal.^[2] Before the bankruptcy of Parma, Ristovski was under contract with Parma until 30 June 2019.^[3]

On 7 July 2015 Ristovski was signed by Spezia Calcio on a free transfer.^[4] He was immediately loaned to HNK Rijeka in the Croatian First Football League until the end of the season.^[5]
