Romano Returns to the Dragons

Arthur Romano will return to the Dragons ahead of the 2027 Betfred Super League season

The 29-year-old French international centre has signed a two-year deal with the club.

Born in Carpentras, he joined the club in 2015 where the U19 team was created, before gradually progressing through the tanks to establish himself in the first team.

Named Rookie of the Year in 2019 after enjoying his most successful season since making his professional debut, he was then sidelined by a knee injury the following season.

Returning from injury in 2021, he went on to enjoy four impressive seasons in the Catalans’ jersey, scoring 22 tries in 95 appearances for the Dragons and playing a part in both 2021 and 2023 seasons where the club reached the Super League Grand Finals in Old Trafford.

Last season, he moved to Hull FC. His experience abroad was disrupted by an ankle injury, although his still made 12 Super League appearances.

A French international, he represented his country at the 2022 World Cup in England. He’s been included in Laurent Frayssinous’ preliminary squad ahead of the next World Cup in Australia.

Arthur Romano "After a year spent at Hull in England, I’m very proud to be coming home to Perpignan. I would like to sincerely thank Bernard, Sébastien, Ben and the coach for giving me the opportunity to return to where it all began. It’s a great source of pride for me to be back at the club and to continue giving everything I have for the Dragons!"

John Cartwright "Arthur is returning home after a year at Hull FC. I had the pleasure of working with him there and have the greatest respect for his leadership and never say die attitude. Has a genuine passion for the club."
