Johnson’s List A debut was in the 2017-18 JLT One-Day Cup for South Australia. Despite not batting, he bowled 10 overs, took one wicket for 72 runs, and helped South Australia win by 11 runs. After being delisted by South Australia, he made a comeback for the 2020-21 Marsh One-Day Cup due to his excellent performances in South Australian Premier Cricket. Although he was included in the Adelaide Strikers squad for the 2020-21 Big Bash League season, he didn’t play. Johnson eventually made his BBL debut for the Brisbane Heat in the 2022-23 season and earned a reputation as a dependable death bowler. In his first-class debut, he took 6/87 against Victoria, improving it to 7/47 in the next match against Queensland. On August 10, 2023, Johnson debuted for Oval Invincibles in The Hundred, impressing with figures of 3/1 off 20 balls against Manchester Originals.
