The Catalans Dragons have secured the services of Australian halfback Toby Sexton on a two-year deal, commencing in the 2026 Super League season. This move marks Sexton’s first foray into European rugby league, following his tenure with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in the NRL.
Sexton, 24, has accumulated 61 NRL appearances since his debut with the Gold Coast Titans in 2021. After transferring to the Bulldogs in 2023, he became a pivotal figure in their resurgence, contributing significantly to their 2024 finals campaign. Despite his form, Sexton found himself off-contract at the end of 2025, with the Bulldogs opting not to extend his tenure, especially after the acquisition of Lachlan Galvin.
The Catalans Dragons, based in Perpignan, France, have been proactive in bolstering their squad with NRL talent, aiming to enhance their competitiveness in the Super League. Sexton’s signing aligns with their strategy to infuse experience and skill into their roster.
This acquisition underscores the club’s commitment to assembling a formidable lineup as they prepare for the upcoming season.
