Johnson is a winger and Northland native, hailing from Kaikohe. 

She represented the Northland Kauri in the FPC Championship and was instrumental in their competition victory in the 2023 season. 

Last season, Johnson represented the Melbourne Rebels in the Super W after having just one season of rugby experience under her belt. 

A 2023 NZ Hearld article read:  

“Given that Black Fern and NZ Sevens powerhouse Portia Woodman is her aunt, it’s no surprise Johnson has blistering speed, which she also attributes to CrossFit training.” 

Johnson joins the nib Blues this season and will be looking to combine her track running background with the skills she’s picked up on the park to be a threat to defences across the country this Super Rugby Aupiki campaign.
