A Papanui player in the Canterbury Rugby League competition, Johnson played for the Canterbury side that bet Auckland in 1993, coming off the bench in the Provincial grand final.[1]

Johnson was then named in the touring squad for the 1993 New Zealand Kiwis tour of Great Britain and France, replacing an injured Brent Todd.[2]
