Upon the completion of his ban, Johnson re-signed for Grays, going out on loan to Tilbury in order to gain match fitness. [3] Whilst at Grays, loans to Soham Town Rangers and Harlow Town followed, [4] before departing in 2016, re-joining tenants Aveley. On 24 March 2017, Johnson, alongside Canvey Island goalkeeper Conor Gough, joined Chelmsford City on dual-registration as cover for Ross Fitzsimons during Chelmsford's National League South run-in.

In the period November 2021 until the end of January, Johnson played for Haringey Borough, [8] before continuing his career at Tilbury. [9] In the summer 2022, Johnson joined Walthamstow. [10]

From November 2022 until the end of the 2022-23 season, Johnson played for Hornchurch before moving to Concord Rangers. [11] Later in 2023, he moved to Harefield United. [12]
