In April 1977 he went to play as a named superstar in the NASL for Fort Lauderdale Strikers alongside his old nemesis Best.
; he played just the once – a home game at Richmond Park on 2 October 1977 against Shamrock Rovers, keeping a clean sheet in a 1 – 0 win – before returning to the Strikers for the North American 1978 season.
His final appearance was a 2 – 3 defeat away to local rivals Tampa Bay Rowdies on 17 June 1978, in which Rodney Marsh scored all three for the home team.
Banks later began a business which distributed tickets for big events to corporate clients, but this fell into a mini-scandal when he received a restricted ban on getting tickets for the FA Cup final after some attributed to his company fell into the wrong hands.
In December 1978 he was appointed as a coach at Port Vale, being demoted to reserve coach in October 1978 as the team struggled, before being dismissed in 1979.
