Career
Johnson began his career in 1991 with Sportfreunde München. In the summer of 1996 Johnson moved to TSV 1860 München.[1] Johnson was promoted to the first team of 1860 Munich in July 2006. He amassed 90 appearances scoring four goals before transferring to VfL Wolfsburg on 14 July 2009.[2] He scored his first goal for Wolfsburg in a 2–2 draw at home to SC Freiburg.
International
On 25 August 2011, Johnson was called up to the United States National Team by head coach Jürgen Klinsmann for friendly matches with Costa Rica (2 September) and Belgium (6 September),[3] but was not able to play as his required paperwork for a one-time FIFA nationality switch of Germany to United States was still in the works.[4] Johnson's one-time switch was approved by FIFA and he will only be able to represent the United States at the international level. On 11 November 2011, Johnson made his international debut as a substitute in a 1–0 loss to France. On 15 November 2011, Johnson made his first full international start and drew a penalty in a 3–2 win against Slovenia.
