On the fourth matchday he was against SV Wörgl for the first time in the Lustenauer starting line-up. In his first season in the second division he came to 32 missions in which he remained without a goal; Lustenau ended the season in seventh place in the table. In his second season in the "Ländle" Jerkovic came to 18 league appearances and ended the 2003/04 season with the club as ninth in the table, which meant that they had to be relegated to relegation. In this one lost both games against the champions of the Regionalliga West, SCR Altach , and thus had to relegate to the Regionalliga. Jerkovic was not used in the relegation. Despite the relegation, he stayed loyal to the Lustenauers and completed 27 games in the Regionalliga West for the club in the 2004/05 season. As third in the table, however, he missed direct re-promotion with the club , only one point missing from champions FC Kufstein .

For the Tyroleans he was used in three second division games in the 2005/06 season, but at the end of the season he had to relegate the club to the regional league as bottom of the table. After relegation, Jerkovic moved to the second division TSV Hartberg in September 2006 . In October 2006 he scored his first goal in the second-highest Austrian division in a 3-1 win against the second team of FK Austria Wien . By the end of the 2006/07 season he completed 25 games in the second division for Styria, in which he scored three goals. However, as in the previous season with Kufstein, he had to relegate to the regional league as bottom of the table with the club.
