Johnston has enjoyed a positive start to the Sky Bet Championship season at club level, providing a brace of assists to help the Baggies seal a 3-2 away win against newly-promoted Wrexham, before the attacker scored his first goal this term in a 1-1 draw with Portsmouth last weekend - making it three contributions in as many league games thus far.
Congratulations, Mikey!
