Career
[edit]A member of Kilmarnock's under-19 squad,[1] Johnston was promoted to the first team on 14 January 2012, where he was an unused substitute in their match against Aberdeen.[2] He went on to make his debut aged 17, on 24 March as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 win over Motherwell.[3] On 23 May 2016, he was one of six players released at the end of their contract.[4]
On 6 June 2016, it was announced that Johnston had signed for Raith Rovers on a one-year deal.[5] He left the club following their relegation to Scottish League One, and joined Scottish Championship side Dumbarton in July 2017, after impressing during a trial period with the club.[6] After finding his opportunities at the Rock limited, he joined Scottish League Two side Peterhead on loan in February 2018,[7] and was released by Dumbarton at the end of the 2017–18 season.[8]
Johnston signed for Annan Athletic in June 2018[9] and was nominated for PFA Scotland Players' Player of the Year and named in the League Two Team of the Season in his first campaign with the club.[10]
Upon the expiration of his Annan contract, Johnston signed for Scottish League One side Clyde in May 2019.[11] He was released by Clyde in March 2021.[12]
In July 2021, Johnston returned to Annan Athletic, signing with the club for a second time.[13] Johnston departed the club in November 2023 by mutual consent.[14]
Following his release from Annan, Johnston joined Stranraer in December 2023.[15]
