Moves to Farnborough Town, Maidenhead United and Walton & Hersham followed in 2005, before he joined former Walton & Hersham manager Alan Dowson at Isthmian League First Division club Kingstonian in January 2007. Traynor had six successful seasons with the Kingstonian, scoring 146 goals, making 250 appearances, winning three Isthmian League divisional golden boots and helping the club to promotion to the Premier Division during the 2008–09 season. He departed at the end of the 2011–12 season and took a year out of the game, before he finished his career with a short spell at Walton Casuals early in the 2013–14 season.
