Hull KR have signed France international back-rower Kevin Larroyer on a season-long loan from Catalan.

Larroyer, 24, is set to play at Craven Park this weekend when France take on Papua New Guinea in their opening World Cup game.

He is under contract with the Dragons until the end of 2015, and Rovers have paid a loan fee to their Super League rivals.

Catalan CEO Christophe Jouffret said: “This loan period with Hull KR will provide Kevin with more regular opportunities to play and gain experience at Super League level and we are sure he will come back stronger for the 2015 season.”
