Johnson represented Southport and District Schoolboys as a youngster and went on to join Blackburn Rovers as an apprentice in 1949 before turning professional a year later.

After one appearance in the Football League over the next five years, Johnson moved to Halifax Town and enjoyed regular football before moving to Wrexham in 1960. He spent three years with the North Wales club, although the early stages of 1962–63 were spent on loan at local rivals Chester.
