Västerås avoided relegation to Division 2 in 2014 by a single goal in the last round. Johansson was on trial with Falkenbergs FF in late 2014. In 2015 he was rumoured to join IK Frej, Örgryte IS or Raufoss IL in Norway on a free transfer. The rumours returned after Västerås' promotion in 2019, this time regarding a transfer to an Allsvenskan club. Nonetheless, Johansson stayed in Västerås and served as team captain. In late 2023, Johansson played his 300th league game for the club. The club proceeded to win promotion to Allsvenskan for the first time since 1997.
