Laurent Frayssinous has announced the squad numbers for the 2016 Super League season.

Seven new signings are included in the 2016 Catalans Dragons squad.

Richie Myler has been given the ‘7’ shirt, worn by Scott Dureau during the last 5 seasons, Pat Richards the number 5, Jodie Broughton the number 2, Justin Horo the 12, Glenn Stewart the 11, Dave Taylor the 14 and Paul Aiton the number 9.

Lucas Albert, Fouad Yaha, Ugo Perez and Thibaut Margalet, who all signed their first professional contract last year, have all been named in the 2016 squad.

Laurent Frayssinous  said: “I used to give the numbers in the past season according to the players wishes and habits.”

“With the large number of new faces in the squad, I decided to change this system.”

“Squad numbers this season give an idea of our starting 17, even if the players named on the team sheet will be of course chosen by their performances and fitness.”

“We have 37 players at the training, and I’m sure some of them not included in this squad will play this season.”

“We’ll not make the same errors we made in past, and we have this season not only quality but also quantity in our squad.”

"I’m really satisfied of the group since the start of the preseason. They are working really hard and improving week by week. We are now looking forward the start of the season."
