John James Johnson (born 16 September 1988) is an English footballer who plays for Northampton Town as a defender.
[edit] Career
Born in Middlesbrough, Johnson made his first team debut for Middlesbrough on 18 October 2008 in a home 5–0 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League, coming on as a substitute for Jonathan Grounds in the 54th minute.[3] In November 2008, he made a loan move to League One side Tranmere Rovers until the end of the year.[4] He made his debut in a 2–1 victory against Leeds United the following week,[5] but scored an own goal in Tranmere's Football League Trophy northern area semi-final against Scunthorpe United, which gave Scunthorpe a 2–1 victory.[6] He played five games, four in the league, during his loan spell with Tranmere.[7]
Nine months later, Johnson joined League Two club Northampton Town on a month's loan in September 2009.[8] The loan was extended until the end of the season in December.[9] He was an attacking threat from right-back, scoring five goals in his 38 games.[citation needed] Northampton later signed Johnson on a permanent basis in July 2010 following the successful loan spell.[10]
