While playing in the US, he was invited by former Philippines international Anton del Rosario to play for Far East United in The Soccer Tournament in North Carolina, alongside other Southeast Asian legends such as Safee Sali, Charyl Chappuis, and current Azkals player and all-time PFL goalscorer Bienvenido Marañón.[19][20] In a 4–2 win over West Ham Legends, John scored the opening goal.[21]
