He kicked a career high six goals in a win over Richmond at Princes Park in round five, 1911 but by the middle of the next season Johnson had transferred to Footscray in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), performing well in a side that finished top of the ladder but missed out on playing in the finals due to illness.
