Born in Kilkenny, Johnston first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Kilkenny CBS. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Kilkenny minor team before later joining the junior side. He joined the senior panel during the 1951 championship. Johnston went on to play a brief role for Kilkenny and won one Leinster medal as a non-playing substitute.

At club level Johnston enjoyed a lengthy career with Éire Óg after beginning his career with St. John's.

Throughout his career Johnston made just two championship appearance for Kilkenny. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1953 championship.[2]

In retirement from playing, Johnston became involved in team management, coaching and refereeing. He mentored a host of local clubs before guiding Clara to championship success. Johnston also served as a referee at club and inter-county levels. Johnston refereed the 1976 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Final between Cork and Wexford.[3]
