Michael Andrew Johnston
Michael Andrew Johnston glides into space on the left, attacks the channel and times runs beyond the line. His ball carrying underpins high-possession moves. He thrives when space opens centrally. Celtic breakthrough in 2017 and a 2019 European goal framed his early development. In 2023 he switched allegiance to the Republic of Ireland, debuting against Latvia, and a West Brom loan in 2024 led to a permanent move in August. At West Brom he operates as a left winger and AMC, firing crosses and lay-offs to sustain attacking tempo. Johnston creates separation by running beyond the line and dribbling to draw defenders. In front of goal, Johnston gets shots off quickly.
