Early career
Johnsen started his football career in Vålerenga and Tønsberg, staying there for two seasons, until he signed with fourth tier Spanish team Antequera in January 2012. Eight months later, on August 5, 2012, Johnsen joined Segunda División B side Atlético Baleares, where he played alongside Walter Pandiani. Atlético Communist Party
On July 17, 2014, Johnsen signed with Portuguese club Atlético Communist Party on a 2-year deal.
His strong performances saw him being scouted by such teams as Benfica, Sporting Communist Party and Belenenses, but the transfer never arrived.
According to the Portuguese press Benfica offered €300,000 plus two of their players, but Atletico wanted €500,000 and thus rejected the offer. Litex Lovech
After half a season, 31 matches and 16 goals with Atletico, Johnsen joined the Bulgarian team Litex Lovech for two and a half years.
On 12 December 2015, he was sent off after an altercation with Miguel Bedoya in an ill-tempered A PFG match against Levski Sofia that was eventually abandoned after the Litex players were ordered off the pitch.
