Non-league
Johnson began his career with Solihull Moors, and spent a loan spell at Coleshill Town. While a Solihull Moors player he won the County FA Cup in May 2009 representing Birmingham FA. In March 2010 he was linked with a transfer to Rushall Olympic, but he instead signed for Romulus, and was their top scorer in the 2011–12 season.
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. He moved from Romulus to Kidderminster Harriers in February 2012. In January 2013 he received interest from a number of Football League clubs, including Crewe Alexandra, Colchester United and Northampton Town.
After a loan spell with Hednesford Town at the end of the 2013–14 season, Johnson signed a new one-year contract with the Harriers in June 2014.
Motherwell
In February 2015 he was one of four players to sign for Scottish club Motherwell on transfer deadline day. Before signing with Motherwell he had been in advanced talks with Football League club Yeovil Town. Johnson signed a three-year contract extension with Motherwell in June 2015.
Oxford United
On 31 August 2016, transfer deadline day, Johnson signed for Oxford United of League One for an undisclosed sum which, according to the Oxford Mail, is believed to be a club record fee, in the region of £650,000. 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. In his first season, having already appeared 9 times for Motherwell (scoring 4 times), Johnson made 52 appearances for Oxford (39 of them in league fixtures) and scored 6 goals (3 in the league). He played in the final of the League Trophy at Wembley (a game Oxford lost 2–1 to Coventry City).
Middlesbrough
After prolonged speculation about his Oxford future, during which he was linked with Hull City and Birmingham City, Johnson signed a three-year contract with Middlesbrough on deadline day, 31 August 2017, after serving one season of his three-year contract. The undisclosed transfer deal was described by Oxford chairman Darryl Eales as "highly attractive", and believed to be in the region of £2.5 million.He scored his first goal for the Boro with a strike from outside the box in a 3-0 away win against Bolton in the league during his first appearance for the club from the bench.
Personal life
Johnson has two children, a boy and a girl.
