Background

He started his amateur career at Oulton Raiders in Leeds at 4 years of age and was selected by the Castleford Tigers at 15 years old to join their scholarship programme. He went on to their academy programme but, in 2018, the Warrington Wolves bought him out of his contract for £45,000 and Johnson signed a 3-year deal to join the club.^[3]
