New Zealand Warriors CEO Mike George says Shaun Johnson’s future at the club will be decided by head coach Andrew Webster and hinted the signing of one of the NRL’s premier props James Fisher-Harris may see Johnson play on longer than first anticipated.
The star halfback has been in career-best form as the Warriors start 2024 off the back of a preliminary final appearance last year.
“I’ll leave that to Webby,” George told Newstalk ZB’s Weekend Sport.
“There’s a few things you just leave to Webby.
“Their connection is so tight.
“It’s a bit like last year. We kept getting asked and asked and asked.
“Shaun will decide when he wants to decide, if that’s in line with what Webby’s thinking.
“They talk every week about it.
“I’m sure the events of what happened this week [Fisher-Harris signing] probably sparks his interest.”
The Warriors host Gold Coast Titans on Anzac Day in Auckland.
