GEELONG has received a boost ahead of the 2014 season, with star Steve Johnson re-signing with the club.

The mercurial midfielder has extended his contract until the end of the 2015 season after signing off on the paperwork this week.

Johnson told Cats TV the decision was an easy one.

"I love playing footy here and I really couldn't think of playing anywhere else so it is a very easy decision." Johnson said.

"I love the young players that are coming through and I think the club is in a positive position to even take steps forward again this year."

Cats general manager of football Neil Balme was pleased to secure Johnson's signature.

"Steve is obviously an important player and he and the club were keen to get this resolved and we have been able to do it. We are looking forward to Steve having another great season for us," he said.
