Club career

Johnson captained Moyle Rovers to its first ever county title at u-21 level in 2007. Later in 2007, he won his first senior county title at club level, which was followed by another title in 2009. [1] Moyle Rovers had its most successful year of hurling in 2008 with Johnson scoring 2-2 [2] from play in the All Ireland Semi Final against Galway's Sylane which set up an All Ireland Final against Conahy Shamrocks GAA in the first game played under lights at Croke Park. The game remained level well into the second half but Conahy Shamrocks GAA pulled clear late on to win by 7 points with Moyle Rovers a man down for most of the game due to a questionable red card. [3]

Intercounty career

Johnson lined out at midfield for Tipperary under Peter Creedon against Cork in the 2007 Munster Under 21 Football Final, with Cork victorious on a scoreline of 3-19 to 3-12 [4] before going on to win the All Ireland. A number of weeks later, he made his senior championship debut under John Owens starting at midfield in the 2007 Munster semi-final defeat to Cork [5] before departing to play for Chicago Wolfe Tones in the North American Championship. Johnson was part of the Tipperary team that secured promotion for the first time in 27 years from Division 4 when the team beat Mick O'Dwyer's Wicklow in 2008. [6] He played his final game for Tipperary when he lined out at right-half forward against Limerick in the 2008 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.[ citation needed ]
