Club career
editJohan began playing for the Brunei team at the start of the 1996 Liga Perdana.[1][2] The Wasps finished in fifth position in the regular league and went on to make the semifinals at the Malaysia Cup when they were beaten by eventual winners Selangor, 2–3 on aggregate.[3]
Johan stayed on for another year in the 1997 season and the Brunei side led by David Booth astoundingly repeated last year's performance in both league and cup.

After leaving the Bruneian representative team, Johan would play domestically with various Bruneian clubs, the last being March United in the 2007–08 Brunei Premier League.[6]
International career

He was a substitute for Ali Mustafa in a 3–0 defeat.[7] He then made the starting lineup for the remaining matches of the tournament, including a memorable 1–0 win against the Philippines on 8 September, the winner scored by Irwan Mohammad.[8][9] Brunei finished in fourth place out of five teams and failed to qualify for the semi-finals with one win and three losses.[10]
Johan was part of the Brunei football team that competed at the 1997 SEA Games, in which Brunei registered four losses out of four games.[11] Johan was known to have started the final game against Singapore on 12 October.[12]
