Johnston was born in Manchester and rose up through the academy at Liverpool. He played once for the Reds’ first-team in a pre-season friendly against Torino but decided to leave Anfield in August 2019.
A move to Holland came about for him and he has since made two senior appearances for Feyenoord.
The Dutch giants gave him the green light to return to England on a loan deal until the end of the season in January and it was Wigan who managed to secure his services.
Johnston is currently focused on helping Leam Richardson’s side stay in League One but his performances are not going unnoticed.
Portsmouth and Ipswich Town are being linked with a move for him and it will be interesting to see what develops with this story.
