On 24 May 2021, Johnson agreed a deal to return to National League side Woking ahead of the 2021–22 campaign.[13] He made his return in a Woking shirt, replacing Tahvon Campbell in the 75th minute during their 3–2 home defeat to FC Halifax Town on 28 August 2021.[14] On 21 October 2022, Johnson signed for fellow National League side Dagenham & Redbridge on a one-month loan deal.[15] On 24 February 2023, Johnson signed for Chelmsford City on loan until the end of the season.[16] On 15 May 2023, it was announced that Johnson would leave the club following the conclusion of his contract.[17]
