Ryan Johnson (born November 26, 1984 in Kingston, Jamaica) is a Jamaican football (soccer) player, who plays as a midfielder or as a centre forward. He currently plays for the New Jersey Ironmen of the MISL
Johnson played college soccer at Oregon State University from 2002 to 2005, where he scored 18 goals and assisted on 30 while appearing in 76 matches. He also spent two seasons in the USL Premier Development League, playing for Cape Cod Crusaders and Boulder Rapids Reserve.
He was drafted in the third round, 26th overall, by Real Salt Lake in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. On July 25, 2006, Johnson was traded to the Chicago Fire, after only appearing in 7 matches with Salt Lake. In the remainder of the 2006 season, Johnson played 3 matches for the Fire and failed to agree on a new contract with the team at season's end. In early 2007, he was trialing with various teams in Scandinavia and eventually got a short-term contract with swedish side Östers IF (then at Superettan), that stretched from March 2007 to July 2007. Because of Östers IF then surplus of centre forwards and their then lack of a natural second striker, they chose not to extend his contract any further and instead loaned Anatolij Ponomarev from GAIS.
Johnson made his debut with the Jamaica national football team on April 12, 2006 in a friendly against the United States, playing the first 70 minutes.
