Johnson, 25, is a box-to-box midfielder who joined the Fleet from Bishop`s Stortford last season and went on to make thirty-seven appearances for the current league leaders.

The midfielder will be available for selection in Saturday`s league clash away at St Albans City and will stay with the Blues until January 6th, meaning he could play up to five times for the Gate, including a double header against Maidstone United over the Christmas period.

Manager Terry Brown has also added Fleet winger Sean Shields (pictured) to his squad for the next month.

Shields earnt a move to League Two Dagenham & Redbridge in January 2013. However, after an unsuccessful time there he returned to St Albans for a short stint before joining Ebbsfleet in January 2015.
