Micky McIlorum

I am very happy to have signed a 2 year extension to my Catalans contract. Me and my family have enjoyed our time in the Catalan region and are very settled in France. Thanks to Steve and Bernard for showing their faith in me and extending my deal and I hope I can repay them with my performances on the pitch.

I would like to say a big thank you to the fans for their support since I arrived and welcoming me and my family to the club and this proud region. I hope myself and the team can give them the success and trophies that they deserve. I will be doing everything I can in these next two and a half years to ensure this happens for the club.

Allez les Dragons !!

Steve McNamara, Catalans Dragons Headcoach

Micky is the most fierce competitor in the competition and his impact on our team since his arrival has been enormous.  We are delighted to agree an extension to his current deal.
