Justin Addo Johnson (born 27 August 1996) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a winger for Cypriot Second Division club Akritas Chlorakas on loan from Othellos Athienou.
Early life
Johnson was born in The Hague, South Holland, and started his career as a youth player with Sparta Rotterdam. After moving to England, he joined the Manchester United Academy, but was released and joined the football academy at the Manchester College. From there, he joined the youth squad of non-League club FC United of Manchester.[2]
Career
After leaving F.C. United, Johnson joined Dundee United's development squad as an amateur player in March 2015. He signed a three-year professional contract in May 2015 and made his first-team debut as a substitute two days later, in a Scottish Premiership match against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[2] Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara described Johnson as a "crowd pleaser" with "great potential".[3]
On 1 September 2016, Johnson was loaned to National League club York City, managed by McNamara, for the rest of the 2016–17 season.[4] On 31 January 2017, his loan to York and his Dundee United contract were both cancelled by mutual consent.[5]
Johnson was without a club in the 2017-18 season before joining Othellos Athienou in the Cypriot Second Division for 2018-19. The following season he joined Akritas Chlorakas on a season long loan.
