Luis Johnson commits to longer Dons stay

We are delighted to confirm that Luis Johnson has extended his stay with the club.

The 26-year-old second row joined the Dons in July after an 11-month spell out with injury.

He went on to make five appearances for the club by the end of the campaign and has earned a longer tenure at the Eco-Power Stadium heading into the 2026 campaign.

“I’m buzzing to be here,” Johnson said. “I came in for the last few games of last season and really enjoyed it so when the chance to re-sign came up, I thought why not.

“I get on with the boys really well, it’s a great group and I’m excited with the vision for the club.”

Leeds-born Johnson had more than 50 Super League appearances to his name prior to joining the Dons.

He latterly turned out for Castleford Tigers but also featured for Warrington Wolves and Hull KR.

Dons head coach Richard Horne said: “Luis joined us after an ACL injury and he’ll admit he was a bit nervous about getting back out on the field.

“But once he did, I think we saw what he was all about. He’s big, tall, rangy and gets about the pitch so well.

“We’ll get a good pre-season into him and I’m sure we’ll see the best of him, and all the top level experience he’s got, next season.”
