Career

Non-league

Johnson began his career with Solihull Moors, and spent a loan spell at Coleshill Town.[1] While a Solihull Moors player he won the County FA Cup in May 2009 representing Birmingham FA.[2] In March 2010 he was linked with a transfer to Rushall Olympic,[3] but he instead signed for Romulus, and was their top scorer in the 2011–12 season.[4][5]

While playing for Romulus, Johnson had a five-day trial at Championship club Burnley in December 2011, and also received interest from League Two side Crewe Alexandra.[6] He moved from Romulus to Kidderminster Harriers in February 2012.[7] In January 2013 he received interest from a number of Football League clubs, including Crewe Alexandra, Colchester United and Northampton Town.[8]

After a loan spell with Hednesford Town at the end of the 2013–14 season,[9][10] Johnson signed a new one-year contract with the Harriers in June 2014.[11]

Motherwell

In February 2015 he was one of four players to sign for Scottish club Motherwell on transfer deadline day.[12] Before signing with Motherwell he had been in advanced talks with Football League club Yeovil Town.[13] Johnson signed a three-year contract extension with Motherwell in June 2015.[14]

Oxford United

On 31 August 2016, transfer deadline day, Johnson signed for Oxford United of League One for an undisclosed sum[15] which, according to the Oxford Mail, is believed to be a club record.[16] On 23 November, the same week his second child was born, he scored his first goal for the club, the only goal in a 1–0 League One victory over Gillingham at the Kassam Stadium.[17]

Personal life

Johnson has two children, a boy and a girl.[18]
