Sam Moa leaves the club



Catalans Dragons can confirm Sam Moa is leaving the club.

The former New Zeland and Tonga international, 34 years-old, has not been offered a new deal and leaves after 4 seasons at the Dragons.

Arrived at the club in 2017, he was involed in the Million Pound game for his first season at the club before lifting a new trophy in his superb career the year after, winning the Challenge Cup at Wembley with the Dragons.

The prop, who also played for Hull FC and the Sydney Roosters where he won the NRL title, he made 90 appearances at Catalans, scoring 8 tries.

 

We would like to wish him all the best for the future. Thanks Sam !

My time with the dragons has come to an end. I have enjoyed every moment in this jersey and there has been some hard times  but also some moments I will cherish forever. I hope I have represented my family, the club and it’s supporters well. Would like to thank Bernard Guasch, Steve McNamara and my teammates for allowing me the opportunity to be a dragon and to experience life here in France. A part of my career and life I will never forget. I’m looking forward to the next chapter of my life. Merci !

Steve McNamara, Catalans Dragons Headcoach
Sam`s contribution to the Catalans Dragons over the 4 seasons he has played has been immense. He has been vital in improving the standards on and off the field. He joined a club that fought off relegation by winning the million pound game and finishes it with the team back in the play offs for the first time since 2014, whilst being part of the first ever Catalan team to win its inaugural trophy at Wembley in 2018. As a player his on field record speaks for itself but his attitude, professionalism, honesty and ability to unite a group off off the field surpasses those achievements. He is the best clubman I have had the fortune to work with and he leaves the club in a far healthier position than when he arrived.
