Youth career
Johnson played at Crystal Palace as a schoolboy before making the switch to Villa in 2009.

In 2011-12, he played in all but one of the reserve team's fixtures as they won their league title.
In October 2012, Daniel had a one-month loan at Yeovil Town, making his senior debut.

In August 2014, Johnson agreed to a three-month loan deal at Chesterfield.
