Keiran Foran will only get better after playing an influential role in the Warriors' 28-22 come-from-behind NRL win over Gold Coast, halves partner Shaun Johnson believes.

The five-eighth was making his first appearance in 10 months on Sunday, after his planned Warriors debut last week was delayed by a late hamstring strain. Foran worked his way in to the game in Auckland, becoming more influential as it progressed with his organisation and running at the line.

It was his bust between two defenders with 18 minutes to go that produced his side's fourth try, which Johnson converted to level the score at 22-22, and later helped setup the winner try scored by Ryan Hoffman on the 78th minute to seal the deal.
