Chris Johnson (born 1986) is an English rugby union footballer, currently playing at Fly-half or Centre for Sale in National League 2 North. An outstanding player who can kick points, drop goals, and score tries, he is one of the most prolific scorers of all time in both National League 2 North and National League 1, with over 2,300 points spread across the two divisions from his time with Huddersfield and Fylde. Johnson has also had a very successful representative career, winning the Bill Beaumont Cup four times with Lancashire, and captaining the England Counties XV.
Growing up in Lancashire where he played junior rugby at Rochdale, upon finishing school Johnson moved across the Pennines to study at the University of Huddersfield. While at university Johnson came to the attention of local rugby union side, Huddersfield, who were playing in North Division 1 (now known as National League 3 North) and signed with them for the 2006-07 season. In 2008 Huddersfield finished runners up in the league to Kendal, qualifying for a promotion playoff against Midlands Division 1 runners up Luctonians, with the Yorkshire side gaining home advantage due to a better comparable league standing. Johnson was outstanding in the playoff game at Lockwood Park, kicking 18 points in the 22-7 victory against Luctonians, and helping Huddersfield achieve a first ever promotion to the National Leagues.
