in his first season. Johnston then went on to win the Western League Premier Division in only his second year as manager of the club, during the 15/16 season. This was the first and only time that Odd Down have won a division at that level. Despite applying to the FA for promotion to the Southern League, Odd Down failed the ground grading requirements, so runners-up Barnstaple Town were awarded with promotion instead. Johnston stepped down in 2018, and after 6 months away took over at Hallen. The club finished 12th in his first full season, and in the 19/20 season Hallen were 4th in the league when the season was unfortunately curtailed due to the Covid outbreak, although PPG dropped them to 6th in the table. A poor start to the 20/21 season saw the club win just 1 point in their first 5 games, and Johnston left following a 2-1 defeat at Bridgwater United F.C. On 3 June 2021, it was announced that Johnston would take over the vacant position at Southern Football League Division One South club, Mangotsfield United. His first win at the club was a 3-0 victory at home to Western League outfit, Tavistock AFC, in the FA Cup Preliminary Round. He went 8 league games before getting his first league win at the club, a 3-1 victory at home to relegation rivals, Cinderford Town. The reverse fixture saw the end of Johnston’s tenure, with a 3-0 defeat at Cinderford leaving Mangotsfield with just 16 points after 24 games, 1 point behind Cinderford and occupying the final relegation place in 18th. The club released the following statement on 9 February 2022, " Mangotsfield United FC has today parted company with 1st Team Manager Ray Johnston. Ray joined at the start of this season along with Terry Moore who have both worked tirelessly throughout the season for the club, for which we are all very grateful. With a quarter of the season remaining, the club feels that a fresh outlook is needed to reinvigorate the team. We would like to thank Ray and Terry for all their work this season and wish them all the best for the future.". In July 2022, it was confirmed that Johnston would take over at Western League Division One outfit, Radstock Town. Ray continues at the helm at Radstock Town FC.
