In February 2023, Johnson signed a new four-year contract with Hibernian.[5] Johnson joined Queen of the South on a planned season-long loan prior to the start of the 2023-24 season.[6] He made his debut for Queen of the South on 22 July 2023 in the Scottish League Cup against Elgin City,[7] although he was recalled and the loan cancelled by his parent club on 4 August 2023 after two of their other goalkeepers were injured in a midweek European match.[8]
On 14 June 2024, Johnson returned to Airdrieonians, now in the Scottish Championship, on a season-long loan.[9]
