Biography:

Knight #4

Signed as the first ever women's player for the Newcastle Knights, Caitlan Johnston has established herself as one of the premier front-row forwards in the competition since her debut in the red and blue.

After an initial early stint with the Sydney Roosters, the local junior joined the Knights in 2021 before embarking on a stellar year in 2022 having earned selection for NSW and Australia, plus played a crucial role in the Knights maiden NRLW premiership win.

Following a World Cup title victory at the back end of '22, Johnson had another strong campaign in 2023 securing her long term future and helped lead the Club to back-to-back premierships.

Renowned for her hard-running and leadership in the middle, CJ is signed on until at least the end of the 2025 NRLW season.
