Club career
Sheffield Wednesday
He signed his first professional contract with the Sheffield Wednesday on 3 July 2024.[3] After a summer of turmoil, he joined the first team ahead of the 2025–26 season.[4] On the 13 August 2025, he made his professional debut in the EFL Cup against Bolton Wanderers, playing the full 90 minutes as well as scoring Wednesday's third goal in a 3–3 draw, where the young side would go onto winning on penalties.[5][6] Three days later, he made his senior league debut, replacing Liam Palmer on the 85th minute against Stoke City.[7] At the start of September, manager Henrik Pedersen moved Johnson, alongside teammates Ernie Weaver, Jarvis Thornton and goalkeeper Logan Stretch into the first team dressing room.[8] However, in the next game against Grimsby Town he would pick up a foot injury which required stitches, meaning he would be out for two-to-three weeks.[9] On 20 January 2026, he made his first league start, playing the full 90 minutes against Birmingham City.[10]
