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 F.C. United of Manchester.

Career

After leaving FC 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. Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara described Johnson as a "crowd pleaser" with "great potential".

On 1 September 2016, Johnson was loaned to National League club York City, managed by McNamara, for the rest of the 2016–17 season. On 31 January 2017, his loan to York and his Dundee United contract were both cancelled by mutual consent.
