“Having spoken to him we feel that he is someone with the right attitude and mindset to really thrive in our environment.
“We are excited to give him the opportunity to develop his potential.”
Johnson, who is 6ft 4ins tall, was a member of Harlequins EPDG while he was at Cranleigh School and was capped by England Students in 2019.
“It’s a proud moment for me and my family and I’m looking forward to the season ahead and showing everyone what I’m about,” Johnson said.
“I’m excited to be a part of the vision of Alan Solomons and Jonathan Thomas for the future at Worcester Warriors.”
“Everyone has been very welcoming and there’s a good, friendly atmosphere.”
