Rushden & Diamonds brought in 20 year old midfielder Matt Johnson during June 2010, most recently with Ryman League Premier side Aveley F.C.
After promotion to the Ryman Premier in the 2008/09 season, for the first time in their history, Aveley continued that good form last season, finishing 3rd in the League, narrowly losing to Boreham Wood in the playoffs.
Manager Justin Edinburgh spoke about the midfielder saying "Matt won the clean sweep of almost everything last year in terms of the club awards, Managers player of the season and Supporters player of the season.
He's an all action, competitive, combative, strong in the tackle, 6 foot plus midfield player."
He made his Diamonds debut as a substitute in the 1-1 draw against Fleetwood Town on 14th August 2010 at the start of the Blue Square Bet Premier season. He then made his full debut on 21st August at Barrow, and scored his debut goal at Southport on 18th September 2010..
On 7th June 2011 he joined Conference South side Dover Athletic.
