Early life

Club career
[edit]Johnson played in the Tasmanian Women's Super League before moving to Alamein FC and later South Melbourne in the National Premier Leagues Victoria Women. In Victoria Johnson established herself as an influential goalscorer despite her position in midfield as she scored 21 goals in 40 appearances across three seasons in the competition.[1]
As a result of her form in the Victorian NPLW Johnson was signed by Newcastle Jets in the A-League Women ahead of the 2021–22 season.[2][3] Johnson would become the first Tasmanian to represent the team.
In August 2023, Johnson joined Sydney FC.[4] After one season, in May 2024, Johnson departed the club.[5] Four months later, Sydney FC announced that they had re-signed her for the 2024–25 A-League Women season.[6]
