This time last year, Tom Johnstone was preparing to step into the unknown after another injury-plagued season.
Johnstone agreed to join Catalans Dragons midway through 2022 and did not play again for boyhood club Wakefield Trinity. The winger featured just 41 times in his final four seasons with Wakefield due to a spate of injuries, including a second ACL rupture and numerous concussions. Johnstone opted for a change of environment and lifestyle in the south of France – and has been handsomely rewarded.
'At the start of it, I just said I wanted to play as many games as I could. I played 32 which is unheard of for me. 'I want to play rugby. It's my job but also my life. It's everything for me, my wife and my kid. 'To be awarded with accolades and get to a Grand Final, which is one thing I've always wanted to do since I was a kid, makes this year extra special.
