The 29-year-old enjoyed a stellar campaign back at The Hawthorns after spending the previous season out on loan with Middlesbrough.
Mowatt played a pivotal role in Carlos Corberan’s side – becoming a mainstay in midfield alongside Okay Yokuslu as Albion reached the play-offs.
After being offered a new deal at the end of the season, it was confirmed earlier this month that the former Barnsley man had penned a new two-year contract.
And speaking on the upcoming episode of the Express & Star’s Baggies Broadcast podcast, former midfielder Johnson praised Albion for keeping Mowatt at the club – and believes his best years are still to come.
