Adam Johnson (born 14 July 1987 in Sunderland) is an English footballer, who currently plays for Middlesbrough F.C., where he was in the fringes of the first team. Johnson is one of many bright talents to emerge from Middlesbrough's acclaimed Youth Academy in recent years. The left winger is also an integral part of England's under-19's squad and been tipped as a future star of the game by many, including the coach, Nigel Hunter.
He made his senior debut in the UEFA Cup in the 1-0 defeat away to Sporting Lisbon 17 March 2005 aged just seventeen. Almost six months later he made his Premiership debut, and first senior start, deputising for an injured Stewart Downing in Middlesbrough's sensational 2-1 home win against Arsenal.
Johnson was a fringe Under-18 player when Middlesbrough won the F.A. Youth Cup in 2003/04.
On 16 October 2006 he joined Leeds United on a months loan. He has since returned to Middlesbrough.
He came on as a substitute in the FA cup replay with Bristol City on 13th February 2006, and played a vital role in seeing Middlesbrough through to the next round by setting up one goal and, showing fantastic composure, scoring the winning penalty in the shootout that was required to separate the two sides.
