Paul Johnson (born 13th March 1988) is a professional rugby league footballer. He plays for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in the European Super League. Signing from local amateur side Blackbrook ARLFC, Johnson plays as either a prop or a second-rower. He has international honours at amateur level, having featured for Great Britain Community Lions.[2] He was only recently promoted to the first team from the reserves (in doing so was awarded the #32 jersey), so he has yet to make a first team appearance. He was named in his first 19-man squad ahead of the derby with Wigan Warriors on Friday 31st July 2009.[3] He also made the 19 for the 21st August 2009 game against Huddersfield Giants but again dropped out.[4]
Johnson made his first grade début for St Helens in Super League XV, coming off the bench to play second-row in a 30-22 win at home to Huddersfield Giants.[5]
It was announced that Johnson's first year with Saints would be his last, as he secured a two-year contract at Wakefield Trinity Wildcats. He has been allocated the shirt number 17. Johnson made his debut in the Festive Trophy on New Years Day, when Wakefield lost 22-40 to Leeds Rhinos. He was awarded the Man of The Match Award in this game, for his excellent contribution going forward.
