Murray Johnson (born 13 November 2004) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for club Airdrieonians, on loan from club Hibernian.[1] He had previous loan spells with Airdrieonians and Queen of the South.
A Hibernian youth graduate, and a Scotland youth international, he signed a professional contract with the Hibees in January 2021.[2] Johnson was on loan at Scottish League One club Airdrieonians as a seventeen year-old, winning the club’s Player of the Month award.[3] [4]
In February 2023, Johnson signed a new four-year contract with Hibernian.[5] Johnson joined Queen of the South on a planned season-long loan prior to the start of the 2023-24 season.[6] He made his debut for Queen of the South on 22 July 2023 in the Scottish League Cup against Elgin City,[7] although he was recalled and the loan cancelled by his parent club on 4 August 2023 after two of their other goalkeepers were injured in a midweek European match.[8]
On 14 June 2024, Johnson returned to Airdrieonians, now in the Scottish Championship, on a season-long loan.[9]
A Scotland international at under-16 and under-19 level he received his first call-up to the Scotland national under-21 football team in March 2023.[10] Johnson has also represented Scotland at cricket at under-15 level.[11]
