Johnson shifted south from Auckland in 2015 to mix his studies at the Southern Institute of Technology with a hope he could push his way into the provincial rugby ranks.
He was eventually able to get his shot in the 2017 Mitre 10 Cup for Southland, quickly becoming a key figure in the Stags starting line up.

Johnson was selected in the All Blacks Sevens development team and was pulled out after the Blues offered him a full contract for the 2018 Super Rugby campaign.
