JOHNSON ONBOARD FOR 2020

by | Aug 30, 2019

Salford Red Devils forward Josh Johnson will remain with the club for the 2020 season.
The Red Devils have won all of their matches since Johnsonโ€™s arrival in July.
The 25-year-old announced his extension on a visit to his sponsors Velvet Menswear.
Johnson said: โ€œIโ€™m buzzing about it. Iโ€™m glad the dealโ€™s done and I can just focus on playing now.
โ€œIโ€™ve enjoyed working with Watto and getting to know the boys.
โ€œWeโ€™ve gone on a bit of a winning streak and itโ€™s great to be part of it.โ€
He added: โ€œWattoโ€™s given me belief that I can do it at the top level and I just want to keep training hard and playing well for him.
โ€œIโ€™m just going to keep working and Iโ€™m sure thereโ€™s plenty more to come.
โ€œThe squadโ€™s looking good for next year, with some good signings coming in and lads who are going to step it up another level.โ€
Season Tickets to see Johnson and his teammates throughout the 2020 campaign are on sale now.

The former Huddersfield Giants and Hull KR player has been a regular in Ian Watsonโ€™s side, since joining mid-season from Barrow Raiders.
Watson said: โ€œJosh has grasped the opportunity to prove he has the ability to perform at the elite level and has been instrumental in the games since heโ€™s joined, winning all of them.
โ€œJosh has already added a touch of grit to our pack and bought into the work ethic of the team.
โ€œWe had to move quickly to secure his services for next season, after his energetic performances caught the eyes of other Super League clubs.
โ€œHeโ€™s pleased to be staying with us and I’m certain heโ€™ll continue to improve and be a valuable signing.โ€
Johnsonโ€™s contract extension follows his teammates Kris Welham and Krisnan Inu committing their future to the Red Devils.

Salford Red Devils director of rugby and operations Ian Blease said: โ€œWeโ€™re really pleased to have Josh onboard for next season.
โ€œHeโ€™s proven himself and been really committed since joining us in July.
โ€œItโ€™s important for us to reward that hard work and Iโ€™d like to give a personal thanks to his agent for helping us achieve that.โ€
