Johnson, who will turn 34 next month, informed his teammates of his decision on Monday before confirming it publicly on Monday night.

"This is a decision that I've sat with for a while now and one I'm probably still coming to terms with," Johnson said when speaking with his teammates.

"It's obviously still very raw but I'm so grateful to the club and to you boys who I get to come into work with every day with a smile on face. I have never taken any of it for granted.

"The job (this season) is not over so, let's rip in and get back to doing what we do but I just wanted to let you all know first that at the end of the season, that will be me (done)."

Johnson will address media with Warriors chief executive Cameron George and head coach Andrew Webster at 1:15pm.
