Justin Johnson was introduced to rugby league by his father Viv who played for Aberavon RLFC in the 1980s in old MASWARLA Leagues. When he was 17, he also started playing for Aberavon RLFC in the final few years of that club. At the time, he was playing rugby union for British Steel Youth. Just after his 20th birthday, Justin was selected for Wales Students for the 1996 Student World Cup that was held in England. Wales ended up entering and winning the “Plate” with Justin being named man of the match in the semi-final against USA after coming off the bench to score two tries. He followed that up with another try in their Plate Final win over Ireland. In 2003, he played alongside the current WRL chief executive Richard Hibbard for Aberavon Fighting Irish. He also played rugby union for Baglan for a number of years. His son Justin Johnson now plays for Aberavon Fighting Irish's junior sides.
