Club career
After playing for Doncaster Belles at Under–18 level,[2] Johnstone moved to Scotland in February 2001, where she was signed for Kilmarnock by manager Jim Chapman.[3]
In the 2004 summer season, Johnstone played in Iceland with ÍBV and made 13 Úrvalsdeild appearances. She returned to Iceland in 2007 to play 11 games for Þór/KA.[4]
Johnstone and Suzanne Malone left Celtic for champions Glasgow City in June 2009.[5] In October 2010 Johnstone played as a substitute striker due to an injury crisis and scored in Glasgow City's 16–0 win over Aberdeen.[6]
Before the 2012 Scottish Women's Premier League season, Johnstone held transfer talks with Forfar Farmington. She played in a friendly match but the move broke down.[7]
