GIOVANNI DESCALZI has signed a new two-year deal with Catalans Dragons.
A product of Toulouges, prop Descalzi joined the Dragons’ academy in 2021, quickly establishing himself in the youth ranks of St Estève XIII Catalan before making his debut for the reserve side in the Super XIII.
The 20-year-old went on to join the Dragons’ training squad in 2025 while continuing to impress with the reserve side, helping them win the Coupe de France that same year.
After making his professional debut against Hull FC at Stade Gilbert Brutus last August, he went on to make a further four Super League appearances for the Dragons.
Upon signing a new deal, Descalzi said: “I’m very happy and proud to be continuing this journey.
“I’d like to thank the club for their trust. I’ll keep working hard, improving and giving everything for this jersey. I can’t wait for the next two seasons.”
Descalzi joins the likes of Clément Martin, Léo Darrélatour, Julian Bousquet and Lewis Dodd in signing new deals with the French side.
