On 23 November 2006, John signed for League One side Brighton & Hove Albion on loan. He made his debut, as a substitute for Tommy Fraser, in a 1–0 defeat away to Doncaster Rovers two days later, making five further appearances before returning to Charlton at the beginning of January 2007.

John joined Torquay United on loan in February 2007, making his Gulls debut in a 1–0 defeat at home to Darlington on 25 February 2007. John played seven times for Torquay before returning to Charlton in April 2007 after suffering a hamstring problem. He was released by Charlton in June 2007.

Since leaving Stevenage, John has had unsuccessful trials at League One outfit Gillingham and Conference National side Ebbsfleet United.
