The form of Johansson and loanee Jamal Blackman meant that Billericay-born goalkeeper did not make a first-team appearance last season, but remained an integral part of the first-team training group.

Current Millers goalkeeping coach Andy Warrington worked closely with the Vickers during the pair’s time at Sincil Bank together.
