PAUL Johnson makes a return from injury in Jimmy Lowes' final Wolves squad before handing over team selection to Tony Smith.

The 30-year-old has missed Warrington's past two games with a leg problem and replaces Simon Grix in the 19-man squad for the Super League clash with Leeds at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on Sunday, kick off 3pm.

Mike Cooper is involved in the squad for the first time this season, replacing Matty Blythe who will feature for the reserves alongside Grix and Kevin Penny.

New head of coaching and rugby Smith left Lowes to pick the team this week after only arriving at the club on Thursday.

Smith will assume control of selection for next Saturday's trip to Harlequins.


Wolves squad to face Leeds: Paul Johnson, Martin Gleeson, Matt King, Lee Briers, Michael Monaghan, Adrian Morley, Jon Clarke, Paul Rauhihi, Louis Anderson, Vinnie Anderson, Mickey Higham, Paul Wood, Steve Pickersgill, Michael Cooper, Chris Riley, Lee Mitchell, Chris Hicks, Ben Harrison, Chris Bridge.
