On April 11, 2013, Johner had extended his contract with Djurgården which would see him return to play with the team for the 2013–14 season.[1] Djurgården was promoted to the Swedish Hockey League for the 2014–15 SHL season, and Johner's contract was not extended.

After five seasons in Sweden, on April 28, 2015, Johner moved to the Austrian league as a free agent, signing a one-year contract with EC VSV of the EBEL.[3] In his second season with VSV in the 2016–17 season, Johner bettered is offensive production from the previous season with 39 points in 54 games. With Villach falling out of playoff contention, Johner was not tendered a contract to remain with the club.[4]
