Catalans Dragons can confirm that young back rower Ugo Perez, who is playing for Dragons reserve team Saint-Estève XIII Catalan, joined Championship club Whitehaven on loan until the end of the season.

Catalans Dragons headcoach Laurent Frayssinous said: “It’s important for him to have some game time and I would like to thank Whitehaven for giving him this opportunity. Ugo is clear with his goals and with the part of his game he has to improve. He works hard at training and I think this experience could help him to progress and to make some appearances with the Dragons. I rely on him for the future, he has the potential to play in Super League.”

Catalans Dragons CEO Christophe Jouffret added: “Since last year and thanks to Steve Deakin, who is close to both clubs, we have created great links between Catalans Dragons and Whitehaven. Some young Catalans players can play in the Championship and continue their progression in this tough competition. We are delighted with this friendly collaboration between both clubs.”
