KIR SCOUTING REPORT
Since joining Salt Lake midway thru the 2008 season Johnson has been an intregal part
of the midfield. He is a work horse on both sides of the ball and with his strong defense he
allows players lik Andy Williams and Javier Morales to play a more attacking style. While
not getting the ball in the box very often, Johnson is always a threat to score from distance.
He has a powerful shot and is occasionally called on for set pieces from distance.
