Rovers moved to sign this highly rated central defender from Irish club Ballymena during the January transfer window of 2008.

Johnny had previously spent a week's trial at Rovers' training ground and made an impression as former boss Mark Hughes signed Flynn when the window opened.

A Northern Ireland under 19 international, Johnny will be looking forward to his first full season with the club.
