Another Australian to succeed Mick Potter in Perpignan
Catalans Dragons have appointed Kevin Walters as their new coach for next season.
Walters has signed a three-year contract to succeed Mick Potter, who is joining St Helens at the end the current campaign.
The 40-year-old Australian, who was a hooker for Canberra and Brisbane during his playing days, is due to link up with the Perpignan club by the end of October in time for their pre-season training camp.
"I'm really looking forward to the challenge of coaching the Catalans Dragons for the next three seasons," he said.
"It's such a wonderful opportunity for me and I'm excited to be a part of one of the newest rugby league clubs in the world.
"After meeting with the club last week I had a great feeling about their passion and vision for the game, which I found very attractive and complimented my views.
"My family are also very excited to the move to the south of France and become part of the local way of life."
