Position | Midfielder |
Johnson was converted by Blackburn Rovers boss Graham Souness to a central midfield role in 2000-01 and the switch looked like being a success in the opening months of the campaign.
However, he was then sidelined by a back problem for several weeks and it was not until April that he returned to the Rovers' team.
He produced a fine display in the win at Grimsby Town when he was full of running and trickery.
A talented midfield player who previously featured wide on the right, he has good pace and a liking for the hard work and decisive tackling required for a more central position.
He continued to appear for Northern Ireland during the campaign winning several more caps.
Johnson's contract at Birmingham City was extended to June 2007 in September 2004 then to June 2010 in December 2006.
He joined Plymouth Argyle in February 2010 with a contract to June 2012.
Johnson was made available for transfer by Fleetwood Town in May 2013 before his contract was cancelled in October 2013.
