Five seasons. One Storm. And Stephen Johnson is back.

In the latest episode of StormCast, we catch up with one of Manchester Storm’s familiar faces as Stephen Johnson returns for his fifth season with the club.

Stephen reflects on his journey in Manchester, what keeps bringing him back to the Storm, and how it feels to be entering another chapter in the club’s story as the team prepares for a new era at the AO Arena.

We look back at some of his favourite memories from his time in Manchester, the evolution of the club, the expectations for the season ahead and what it means to pull on the Storm jersey once again.

Plus, Stephen gives us an insight into the player behind the hockey, his ambitions for the campaign and why there is plenty of excitement surrounding the season ahead.
