Johnson reckons his run will be picked up by his employers, having previously spentm time shadowing coaches at City Group clubs.
Hibs' manager hopes that his forward's progress can spark a prosperous relationship that would allow him to bring in youngsters needing minutes from Manchester City, New York City, Yokohama Marinos and others. Johnson said: "The history of the City Group, signing Mykola, and my connection with the City Group and the connection with the development of those I’ve had over the years becomes important.
