The ACT Comets batsman continued his wonderful start to the season, scoring an unbeaten century and taking four wickets in Eastlake's win against Queanbeyan in the one-day Gallop Cup on Saturday.
Having seen Comets teammate Shane Devoy join Easts in the Sydney competition, Spaseski said he has been thinking about going down a similar path.
"I've already had a few chats with clubs in Sydney and Melbourne, so I think it will be Eastlake for the rest of this year at least, but next year I don't know," Spaseski said.
"It's definitely something I'll be looking at.
"It'd be nice to win a couple more trophies at Eastlake and have a really good year leaving Canberra."
Spaseski enjoyed a similar start to the previous summer, scoring more than 900 runs before Christmas and earning a spot in the PM's XI.
He is averaging 84 this season after scoring an unbeaten 101 from 92 balls in Eastlake's total of 3-237 before taking 4-39 to restrict Queanbeyan to 210.
Weston Creek Molonglo all-rounder Blake Dean is also enjoying a blistering start at his new club, making 98 in his team's fifth straight win.
Dean has 421 runs for the season at 84.2 as Weston Creek (4-240) passed ANU's total of 4-237 with six overs left.
Weston Creek Molonglo captain Michael Delaney said Dean had carried over his red-hot form from his off-season stint in Wales.
"He hasn't scored anything under 50 this year, so he's going really well," Delaney said.
"He's professional in the way he goes about things and that's the reason why he's so good.
"Him, myself, Jono (Dean) and a couple of the other boys are from the Bathurst/Orange area and we've all got along since we're 12 years old, so he's just enjoying cricket, playing with mates again."
Tuggeranong sprung an upset on North Canberra Gungahlin, Matt Floros scoring 94 and Tim Floros bagging four wickets in a 144-run win at Chisholm Oval.
Matt Floros and Justin Haywood (69) put on 166 for the opening wicket as Tuggeranong posted 277. Heath Axelby took 4-33 for Norths.
Norths never got going in their run chase, Assad Vala the best of their batsmen with 51 as they crumbled for 133.
ANU was led by Scott Murn (70) and Mark Bennett (61 not out).
Wests/UC made light work of Ginninderra in a nine-wicket victory with more than 33 overs to spare at Jamison Oval.
Ginninderra was bowled out for 103 after winning the toss and batting first. Brendan Duffy (3-15) and Dale Riley (3-16) did the damage.
A 55 from 38 balls from opener Theo Valeri spearheaded Wests/UC's successful run chase.
GALLOP CUP: Eastlake 3-239 bt Queanbeyan 210 at Kingston Oval.
