Catalans Dragons are pleased to announce the signing of Théo Fages from the 2024 season.

The Huddersfield Giants halfback has signed a two-year deal with the club.

Théo Fages said: “I’m very happy and excited to sign for Catalans Dragons! I can't wait to wear the club’s jersey. It will be an honor to wear the shirt in front of my family, friends, and fans. I'm proud to have the opportunity to join this great squad. I will do my best to bring back home many trophies for the club”.

Born in Catalonia, he started rugby league at the academy of Pia before he moved to Salford at the age of 16 to join the Red Devils’ academy. He quickly became a regular starter in Super League and made his professional debut in 2013 at 18 years-old. After 3 full seasons with Salford, the French playmaker signed for St Helens, where he won 3 times the Super League and the Challenge Cup.

After having played more than 200 games for both Red Devils and Saints, Théo Fages joined Huddersfield in 2022. He made 25 appearances for the Giants so far and is preparing to return to the south of France in 2024, 12 years after he left the country.

Captain of the French national team at the 2017 World Cup, he scored 4 tries in 15 appearances for France, taking part in the 2013 and 2017 World Cups.

Steve McNamara said: "Theo has shown a huge desire and commitment to play for the Dragons and his return to France is great for the game here. He is a Catalan, a leader and a player who knows how to win. We look forward to welcoming him to our club in 2024."
