Shaun Johnson is returning to the Warriors.

He's signed a two year contract with the club and will return next season after his current deal with the Cronulla Sharks expires.

Johnson played eight seasons for the Warriors before leaving in 2018 and says he's excited to come back.

Warriors CEO Cameron George said that this had been wrapped up a few days ago.

“This week we had a quick chat Wednesday with him and then yesterday, I had a couple of chats with him and from that point, we were able to do a deal and get it done.”

George said Johnson had plenty of options but had a desire to play for the club.
