Super League forward signs new one-year deal

Catalans Dragons back-rower Benjamin Jullien has signed a one-year contract with the club.

The France International has put pen to paper on a contract extension that will secure his future at the Gilbert Brutus Stadium until the end of the 2022 season.

Benjamin Jullien, 26, left France at a very young age to join Australia before going to Wales. Brought up in Avignon, he signed for Warrington in 2016 where he made his Super League debut. He made 33 Super League appearances for the Wolves and scored three tries.

He finally joined the Dragons in 2018. That season, the french back-rower won the first Challenge Cup in the club’s history against his former club. Benjamin Jullien played 61 Super League games for the Catalans and scored 12 tries.

Benjamin Jullien said how happy he was to sign a new deal.

“I am very happy to have the trust of the staff for another year! I will continue to work hard for the club and the fans.”

Steve McNamara, the Catalans Dragons head coach was happy to get the deal over the line.

“Benjamin has proved his value to the team with some very good performances,” McNamara said.

“He goes about his work quietly but efficiently and will continue to grow within our team.”
