El Toro has hired former national team player Justin Johnson (Mission Viejo) as its boys and girls water polo coach, athletic director Jimmy Martin announced Friday.

Johnson played at UCLA and has been part of the coaching staffs at SET and Concordia.

He replaces Brett McCleave and helps stabilize a program that had aims of hiring Brent Danna, who landed at Los Alamitos.

Johnson helped UCLA a national title in 2004 and later played professionally in Australia, Brazil and Spain.

El Toro’s boys and the rest of the South Coast League reside in Division 2.
