Laurent Frayssinous says he will bring all his experience to make sure Ottawa Aces are successful.

The Canadian club will join League 1 ahead of the 2021 season and have recently appointed former Catalans boss Frayssinous as their first-ever head coach.

Frenchman Frayssinous was head coach of the Dragons in Super League between 2013-17, winning 66 out of 139 games in charge.

He said: “I’m very honoured. It’s a very exciting time for me and an exciting time for the club.

“I can’t wait to start and I’m very honoured and it is my pleasure to be a part of the Ottawa Aces.

“I will bring all my experience to make sure the Ottawa Aces are successful in the short-term but also in the medium-term, we have had discussions with Eric (Perez, Aces president) to make sure we work hard in the right direction to make our club sustainable in the future.

“It is a great challenge for me and the club but I can’t wait to start because it is very exciting.”
