Career

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] He signed for Annan Athletic in June 2018.[9]
