Club career

Johnson began his career in the youth systems at Charlton Athletic and Thurrock, before joining non-league club Concord Rangers in 2010. Johnson's formative years were spent at Romford, Aveley and Canvey Island, before signing for Grays Athletic in 2012.[1]

In January 2014, following an off the field incident against Bury Town that had occurred on 25 September 2013, Johnson was given a year long ban by The Football Association. Upon the completion of his ban, Johnson re-signed for Grays, going out on loan to Tilbury in order to gain match fitness.[2] Whilst at Grays, loans to Soham Town Rangers and Harlow Town followed,[3] before departing in 2016, re-joining tenants Aveley. On 24 March 2017, Johnson, alongside Canvey Island goalkeeper Conor Gough, joined Chelmsford City on dual-registration as cover for Ross Fitzsimons during Chelmsford's National League South run-in.[4] During the 2017–18 season, Johnson re-signed for Grays, having spells at Hertford Town, Basildon United, Waltham Abbey and Aveley in the following campaign.[5] In July 2019, Canvey Island signed Johnson.[6] In the summer Johnson moved to Canveys near neighbour's Bowers & Pitsea

International career

In November 2019, Johnson received a call-up for Saint Lucia. On 16 November 2019, Johnson kept a clean-sheet on his debut for the country in a 1–0 win against the Dominican Republic.[7]
