As of February 2, 2025, there is no publicly available information indicating that Ben Johnson has signed a new contract with the Penrith Panthers. Ben Johnson, a 24-year-old footballer, spent 17 years at West Ham United before leaving upon the expiration of his contract on June 30, 2024. He subsequently joined Ipswich Town, signing a four-year deal in July 2024. Johnson expressed enthusiasm about this new chapter, stating, “It’s going to be a fresh start.”

 

During his tenure at West Ham, Johnson made 109 senior appearances and was part of the squad that won the UEFA Europa Conference League in 2023. Reflecting on his time with the Hammers, he remarked, “My dreams were exceeded by what happened two seasons ago and I’m just so, so pleased I did it as a West Ham player.”

 

Given his recent commitment to Ipswich Town, any reports suggesting that Johnson has signed with the Penrith Panthers appear to be unsubstantiated at this time.
