[edit] Club career

[edit] Early career

Born in Avignon, Johann began his career at his hometown club Avignon Foot 84. During his last year at the club, he was selected to attend the Centre de Formation de Cavaillon, an exclusive sporting club for goalkeepers.^[1]During his time in Cavaillon, he trained and played with nearby club US Le Pontet.

[edit] Montpellier HSC

In 2004, Johann joined Montpellier's under-16 team. Following his graduation from the academy, he was promoted to the first team for the Ligue 2 2007–08 season and designated as the 2^nd keeper behind Geoffrey Jourdren. He made his debut in a Coupe de la Ligue match against Dijon. He made his league debut that season, as well, on 26 October in a 2–3 loss to Clermont Foot starting in place of the injured Jourdren.^[2]Following an extensive injury to Jourdren, he made three consecutive starts recording two shutouts against Niort^[3] and Guingamp^[4] and losing to Ajaccio 1–2.^[5]He made two more proficient starts that season.

Just before the start of the 2008–09 season, Johann was given the role of first choice keeper ahead of Jourdren. Over the course of the season, he recorded 12 clean sheets and, along with Montpellier's defense, allowed the third least amount of goals in the league. For his efforts, he was nominated for the Ligue 2 Goalkeeper of the Year award.

[edit] International career

Johann earned his first France youth cap with the under-18 team making his debut in the 2006 edition of the Sendai Cup. On 12 November 2009, he earned his first call-up to the France under-21 team. On 18 November, 2009, he made his debut for the under-21 team against Denmark.
