Catalans centre Arthur Romano has signed a new one-year deal with the club.

The 23-year-old came through the club’s academy and has scored three tries in 19 appearances so far. He represented France at the Nines World Cup in 2019.

Romano said: “I’m really happy to sign a new contract and to stay at the Catalans Dragons.

“Now I want to prove and to cement my place in this team and I know I have to work really hard to achieve that.”

Catalans coach Steve McNamara said: “Arthur is popular member of the club and will stay with us for 2021.

“He has kept himself in an incredible physical shape but is a player that due to the Covid issues hasn’t had the opportunity to play games this season.

“He will therefore play some games for our reserve team to gain more valuable experience before re-joining the full-time playing group in January.

“We look forward to him continuing his progression with us and getting more opportunities to play in 2021.”
