The North Sydney Bears confirmed the news on Sunday, describing Johannssen as a player who made a lasting impression in his short time with the club through his vibrant personality, dedication and respect for teammates and staff. No official cause of death has been released.
Johannssen, who turned 22 just weeks before his passing, was the younger brother of former Wests Tigers player Tim Johannssen. He had recently joined the Bears after time with the Magpies and was seen as a rising talent with a bright future in the game.
Tributes Pour In
The rugby league world reacted swiftly with an outpouring of grief. Clubs, players and fans expressed condolences on social media, remembering Johannssen as a talented, likable young man who lit up rooms with his presence.
North Sydney Bears CEO Gareth Holmes said: “Noah was a young man of great character. This is a heartbreaking loss, and our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.” The club noted that Johannssen had been with the NSW Cup team for just five months but quickly became part of the family.
