He also appeared in the side that season that lost 2–0 away to Liverpool in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup.

After making a total of 169 League and Cup appearances, scoring 9 goals, it was at the end of the 1972–73 season that Rabjohn was released on a free transfer with Northampton Town being an interested party at the time.
