Johnston's professional career took off in the Scottish Premiership with Celtic, joining their ranks as a trainee in July of 2008. Over his journey with Celtic, he showed a commendable level of progression. In his debut 2016-2017 season, Johnston made a single first-team league appearance. The next season, he participated in three first-team league matches. His contributions gradually grew, as evidenced in his 2018-2019 season where he played 14 matches and scored five goals. Subsequent seasons saw continued involvement in the Celtic squad, with peak involvement achieved during the 2021-2022 season with 12 first team appearances.
In September of 2022, Johnston expanded his horizons, securing a loan to Vitoria SC in Liga Portugal. Upon his return to Celtic a year later, Johnston continued to be a reliable asset. However, in February 2024, he once again temporarily parted ways with Celtic, this time to join West Bromwich Albion in the English Championship, where he made a significant impact, scoring seven goals in 18 appearances during his loan spell.
In August 2024, Johnston bid a final farewell to Celtic and permanently transferred to West Bromwich Albion for a fee approximating £3m. Since then, he has grown into a key player for the club, making numerous first team appearances and maintaining a consistent scoring record. Up to the present 2025-2026 season, Johnston has made 29 appearances and netted two goals.
Away from the regular season, Johnston has also participated in several cup and international competitions. In the 2025-2026 season, he had one start each in the FA Cup and League Cup for West Bromwich Albion. Internationally, he represented the Republic of Ireland in the 2024-2026 World Cup Qualifiers Europe, and the 2024-2025 Nations League, making a combined total of eight appearances.
