Catalans Dragons are delighted to announce the signing of Jesse Arthars from the 2027 season.
The 27-year-old from New Zealand who can play winger, fullback or centre, has signed a 2-year contract with the club.
Jesse Arthars: “I’m super excited to be joining the Catalans Dragons for the next couple of seasons. Looking forward to representing the club, the fans, embracing the culture and exploring the south of France. Allez Les Dragons ! ”
Jesse Arthars was born in Auckland before he moved to the Gold Coast with his family at age 11.
A promising outside back, Arthars topped the points tally in the NRL’s Under-20s competition and made his first-grade debut with the Titans in 2019.
Arthars joined the Broncos the following year and has since become a mainstay of the squad, playing 74 games and earning a reputation for his powerful kick returns and clinical finishes on the wing.
After a blistering start to the 2025 season, he was rewarded with selection in his first Queensland State of Origin squad ahead of Game 1.
An NRL Premiership winner in 2025, he has scored 43 tries in 107 NRL appearances and has also earned four caps for the Māori All Stars.
Catalans Dragons headcoach John Cartwright: “I have worked with Jesse at the Broncos. He’s a class player on and off the field. He is a good character and a hard worker in the peak of his career. It’s a major statement signing by the club.”
