Sean Johnson emerged on the USMNT scene after winning the starting goalkeeper job with the Chicago Fire. Johnson joined the Fire through the 2010 SuperDraft, selected 51st overall and quickly making other clubs wonder why he wasn’t picked sooner. Johnson played 13 times in his rookie season, taking the starting job in 2011. Following the 2016 season, he joined NYCFC.

At USMNT level, Johnson had appearances with the U-20 and U-23 teams before winning his first full USMNT cap on Jan 22, 2011. He is currently one of the regulars for camp call ups with the USMNT, as well as playing in the 2013 Gold Cup. That appearance cap-tied Johnson to the USMNT. He was also eligible to represent Jamaica’s National Team.
