The Sydney Roosters<\/a> have signed a new recruit, landing the signature of the son of Immortal Andrew Johns on a pathways contract ahead of the upcoming 2026 season.<\/p>\n

Preparing for the future,\u00a0Zero Tackle\u00a0understands that the Tricolours have signed Paddington Colts junior Louis Johns, who is otherwise known as the son of Immortal and former Newcastle Knights<\/a>, Australia<\/a>, and NSW Blues<\/a> halfback Andrew Johns.<\/p>\n

A halfback just like his father, Johns will play in the Under-17s Harold Matthews Cup<\/a> competition in 2026 for the Roosters and is one to watch in the coming seasons as he looks to make a name for himself.<\/p>\n

Zero Tackle\u00a0understands that the Roosters have also signed promising five-eighth Sam Large, who excelled at this year’s Under-15s ASSRL National Championships.<\/p>\n

A student of the prestigious Scots College, Large scored a double in the tournament’s semi-final and was named the most valuable player (MVP) for NSW Combined Catholic Colleges (CCC), where he helped guide them to the Grand Final.<\/p>\n
