Club career


Born in Torrent, Valencia, to a Liberian father and a Spanish mother, Johnson was a product of Valencia CF's youth system.[2] He made his senior debut at only 17, appearing with the reserves in the Segunda División B and suffering relegation in 2010.[3]

On 8 March 2010, as both right-backs in the first team, Bruno and Miguel, were unavailable, Johnson made his first La Liga appearance, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–0 home draw against Racing de Santander.[4][5] Released on 30 June 2012, he went on to compete solely in the lower leagues, first with Real Madrid C and then with Real Jaén, both in the third tier.[6][7][8]

After a season with CD Buñol in the Tercera División, Johnson signed with USL Championship side Charlotte Independence on 6 April 2016.[9] Six years later, he joined Hartford Athletic of the same country and league.[10]


International career


Johnson received his first call for the Liberia national team on 31 August 2016,[11] being an unused substitute in the 4–1 away loss to Tunisia for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying phase the following week.[12] He only won his first cap on 9 September 2018, starting and playing 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw against DR Congo for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.[13]
