The Sydney Roosters have welcomed a new addition to their ranks by signing the son of rugby league legend Andrew Johns on a pathways contract for the upcoming 2026 season.
Following in his father's footsteps as a halfback, Johns will represent the Roosters in the Under-17s Harold Matthews Cup competition in 2026. He is a promising talent to keep an eye on in the next few years as he aims to establish his own identity in the sport.
