Shaun Johnson retirement: New Zealand Warriors halfback calls time on his NRL career

Shaun Johnson has called time on his glittering career with the New Zealand Warriors halfback confirming he will hang up the boots at the end of the season.

“This is a decision that I’ve sat with for a while now and one I’m probably still coming to terms with,” the emotional 33-year-old said as he informed his teammates of his decision.

“It’s obviously still very raw but I’m so grateful to the club and to you boys who I get to come into work with every day with a smile on my face. I have never taken any of it for granted.

“The job is not over. So, let’s rip in and get back to doing what we do but I just wanted to let you all know first that at the end of the season, that will be me.”
