Langi agrees extension with League Leaders

Catalans Dragons centre Samisoni Langi has today signed a one-year contract extension with the club.

The Tonga international, 28, has put pen to paper on a contract extension that will secure his future at the Gilbert Brutus Stadium until the end of the 2022 season.

A former Australian shoolboy, he made his NRL debut in 2013 for the Sydney Roosters where he worked with Steve McNamara, assitant coach of the Roosters at that time. 

He then joined Betfred Super League with Leigh before signing for the Dragons where Langi quickly impressed the fans on his arrival at the Gilbert Brutus, winning the Player of the Year award in 2019 and being a key member of the playing squad over the last two seasons. He made 80 Super League appearances for the Dragons since his debut in 2018 and scored 18 tries.

On signing his extension, Samisoni Langi said: "My family and I are happy to be extending our stay for another year. I am proud to be able to represent this great region. It’s been our home for the last 4 years and I am happy to still call it that. This team is where I feel my journey truly began. One more dance to go, Come on Dracs!"

Steve McNamara, Catalans Dragons head coach added: "Samisoni has had a great season and we are happy to extend his deal. He puts his body on the line every single game doing lots of the tough work. He is a real team player."
