Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Reliable carrier and defensive anchor

Across 37 matches Johnson averages close to six tackles per game, with a single-match high of 15, pointing to a centre who consistently shoulders a heavy defensive workload. His carrying numbers tell a similar story of steady, professional contribution — over five carries a game for more than 16 metres — rather than explosive individual bursts. The combination marks him as a dependable inside centre who does the structured, unglamorous work that holds a midfield together.
