Player description
Andrew Johnson became Fulham's biggest signing of 2008 when he signed from Everton on a four-year contract.
The striker joined the Toffees in May 2006 from Crystal Palace for £8.6m and scored 22 times in 73 appearances during his time at Goodison Park.
Johnson started his career at Birmingham City in 1997, but rapidly came to the fore when he signed for Crystal Palace in July 2002, averaging more than a goal every other game for the Eagles. Indeed, the 32 he netted during 2003-04 was the highest in the Championship that season, and helped secure Crystal Palace's promotion to the Premier League.
He subsequently ended 2004-05 as the Premier League's top English goalscorer and made his England debut in February 2005 against Holland, when he replaced Wayne Rooney as a second-half substitute.
AJ opened his account for Fulham against Wigan at Craven Cottage on October 29th 2008, bagging a brace that took him past the 100 league goals landmark.
He went on to score 10 goals over the course of the campaign before his season was cut short with a knee injury in Fulham's home match against Stoke City at the end of April.
He was out injured for much of 2009/2011 after his injury managing 9 starts, 1 sub and no goals.
Jonhson endured continued injury frustration in the 2010/2011 season returning to First Team action at the Hawthorns on the 23rd October. He finished the season with 3 goals in 17 starts and 12 sub appearences.
He made a good start to the 2011-12 season, scoring a hat-trick on 2 October in the 6-0 win over West London rivals Queens Park Rangers. Johnson also scored twice in Fulham's 4-1 win over Wisla Kraków on 4 November, putting them on the brink of securing a place in the knockout stages of the Europa League.
These goals were Johnson's seventh and eighth in the Europa League; he also scored against NSÍ Runavík, Crusaders, RNK Split, Twente and Odense. His season totals were 26 starts, 8 subs and 11 goals
Johnson's contract at Fulham expired in June 2012 and he and Fulham were unable to agree a n ew contract so he was released after four years at the club.
In June 2012 Johnson signed for Queens Park Rangers on a two-year contract.
