Early career
Born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, Johnson played in the Wakefield & District Sunday League with Shepherds Arms before starting his career with Nostell Miners Welfare in the Northern Counties East Football League Division One, the 10th tier of English football. His first goal of the 2006–07 season came with Nostell's opening goal in a 4–2 victory over AFC Emley on 21 October 2006. He finished the season with four goals as Nostell were promoted to the Northern Counties East Football League Premier Division. Johnson scored nine goals during the 2007–08 season.
Stockport County
After catching the attention of Stockport County during a pre-season friendly, he joined the League One club on 17 October 2008 after impressing on trial, signing a contract until the end of the 2008–09 season. He made his debut as part of a 2–1 loss against Colchester United. He made an instant impact at Stockport, scoring four goals in his first four starts for the club, including the winner against Cheltenham Town at Edgeley Park.
Norwich City
Johnson signed for Norwich City on a two-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee on 8 January 2010 and made his debut coming on as a late substitute in Norwich's 3–1 victory over Exeter City the following day. He scored his first goal for the club a week later in the 5–0 away victory against Colchester United.
Johnson joined Yeovil Town on an initial one-month loan on 14 January 2011, and made his debut as a substitute in the 1–0 win against Swindon Town on 15 January. His first goal for the club came against Brentford, helping Yeovil to a 2–1 win. He scored twice more for the club, including a volley in a 1–0 win against Tranmere Rovers. On 9 January 2012, Johnson's contract with Norwich was terminated by mutual consent.
Oxford United
Johnson joined Oxford United of League Two on 20 January 2012 on a contract until the end of the season. He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 home victory over Dagenham & Redbridge. In May 2012, Johnson was released after being deemed surplus to requirements.

Having suffered from stomach and groin problems, he was released by York on 28 February 2013, after making seven appearances for the club.
