John Johnson is no stranger to Indian football and enjoyed five successful seasons at Bengaluru FC before making the switch to ATK ahead of the upcoming ISL season.

The defender, who has won five titles during his time in India, is one of the biggest scalps of the new season and ATK will be aiming to make the most of his experience to lead the Kolkata giants.

Steve Coppell relies on defensive stability to help his teams achieve the desired results and the addition of Johnson will surely help ATK incorporate some much-needed steel to the rearguard in a bid to try and better their disappointing ninth-place finish last season.

ATK were also the second-worst in the league with respect to the number of goals conceded last season and the two-time ISL winners will be hoping for a better output this year as they aim to recapture their lost glory under the new manager.
