Johnson
joins the Lions hoping to maintain his prolific partnership with recent signing
Aaron Martin.
The
pair were at Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Division One East side Brighouse
Town last season with Johnson, formerly with Sheffield
United`s academy, playing 33 games, scoring 10 goals and providing 14 assists.
Johnson, 22, had spells as
a youngster with Manchester United under-14s and Leeds United under-17s before
his season with the academy at Bramall Lane.
He has also played for
Hallam, Sheffield FC and Doncaster Rovers and has a brother Tom who played in
midfield for Harrogate Town.
Johnson,
from Sheffield, works as a gym instructor and he is working hard on his own
fitness prior to pre-season starting at Guiseley.
He
told https://guiseleyafc.co.uk: “This is a step
up for me and I want to be ready for when pre-season training starts. Aaron and
I worked well together at Brighouse Town last season and got the club promoted
with the goals and assists we shared between us. We will ge hoping to replicate
that at Guiseley.
“I
am looking forward to the challenge of stepping up a level to a club a lot
bigger than the one I was at and it gives you an opportunity to be seen on a
bigger stage. I have heard good things about the club from some of my friends
who have played there so I can’t wait to get started”. |
