The 34-year-old has been recruited by the BBL’s Perth Scorchers. “I want to be involved in the coaching side of things which has become a bit more of a focus for me,” Johnson said.


“I was never going anywhere and wanted to stay here and be part of the community. To play for the Perth Scorchers, where I live and where I’m based, is perfect for me.” Johnson said.
