CATALANS DRAGONS have announced the signing of Hull KR fullback Phoenix Laulu-Togaga’e on a one-year deal.

The 22-year-old made just nine appearances for Rovers over a four-year period, and spent the past two seasons on loan at Oldham.

There, Laulu-Togaga’e registered 29 tries in 46 appearances, becoming a key cog in the Roughyeds’ wheel as the Lancashire club reached the Championship.

PLT, as he is commonly known, began his career in England alongside father Quentin at Keighley Cougars, making 12 appearances and doing enough to impress Hull KR.

Loan spells at Dewsbury Rams, Rochdale Hornets and Oldham followed as the fullback made a name for himself in the lower echelons of rugby league.

Having been out of contract at the end of the season, however, PLT left Craven Park without playing a game in his final two years there.

Now he has linked up with Joel Tomkins in the south of France as Catalans attempt to better their dismal 2025 campaign.

“I am truly grateful for the opportunity to join the Dragons,” said Laulu-Togaga’e.

“After speaking with Joel, he has given me a lot of confidence and shown real belief in my abilities, which means a lot to me.

“I am looking forward to learning from (coaching staff members) Mitchell Pearce, Joel Tomkins and Micky McIlorum.

“I am ready to work hard every day, do my best to earn my place and do everything I can to help the team.

“My goal is to continue to improve, establish myself as a proven Super League player and help the Dragons reach the play-offs.”
