Jemal Pierre Johnson (born 3 May 1985 in Paterson, New Jersey) is a footballer. He is a striker currently playing for Milton Keynes Dons.

Though born in the United States, Johnson's family moved to Macclesfield when he was five years old. Originally signed by Manchester United, Johnson joined Blackburn Rovers' Academy when he was 16.[citation needed]

Johnson made his first team debut as a substitute in Rovers' third round FA Cup tie at Cardiff City on 8 January 2005. He scored his first senior goal, in his first start on 29 January 2005 at Ewood Park, in Blackburn's fourth round victory over Colchester United.

During the 2005-06 season he spent periods on loan to Preston[1] and Darlington.[2] Johnson joined Wolves on 17 August 2006 for an undisclosed fee.[3] He scored two match-winning goals in his first two games for the club, but by the end of the season had scored just one more goal and was put on the transfer list. He joined Leeds United on an initial one month loan on 19 February 2007, but he had a frustrating time there, mainly featuring on the subs bench.

On 31 August 2007 League Two side Milton Keynes Dons paid an undisclosed fee for Johnson, and he signed a two year contract.[4]
