Lewis Johnston (born 3 March 1991) is an Australian rules footballer who played for the Sydney Swans and Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
AFL career[edit]
Sydney[edit]
Johnston was drafted to Sydney with the 12th selection in the 2008 AFL Draft.[1]
From North Adelaide, Johnston is seen as a future key-position forward as he is tall, strong in the air and a clever ground player. He was named at centre-half forward in the All-Australian team following the 2008 AFL Under 18 Championships.[2] Originally from Port Pirie, South Australia, a foot injury during the 2009 season saw Johnston failing to make his debut.[3]
In round 10 2011 against North Melbourne, Johnston finally made his senior debut for the Swans.
Adelaide[edit]
In October 2011 Johnston was traded back to his home state to the Adelaide in exchange for Tony Armstrong.[4] He made his debut for Adelaide in round 20 of the 2012 AFL season against Fremantle.[5]
In 2013 Johnston was not selected to play for Adelaide until round 19 against Port Adelaide. In the last Showdown to be played at AAMI Stadium, Johnston kicked 4 goals.[6] Due to a number of injuries his career was cut short, and was delisted by Adelaide at the conclusion of the 2014 AFL season.[7]
