Leigh Centurions have signed France internation centre Mathias Pala from Catalans Dragons.

The 26-year-old has signed a contract up until the end of 2016 although the club has the option of extending his stay a further year.

Pala made his international debut for France against England in 2011, the same year he made his Super League debut for the Dragons.

Leigh Centurions Head of Rugby Derek Beaumont said:

“Mathias is very strong with good feet and is proven at Super League and international level so is a positive addition to our family."

“I am really looking forward to welcoming Mathias and ensuring he settles in with us quickly to put himself in contention for our next home game against Sheffield. I'm sure our fantastic fans will welcome Mathias with open arms and he will soon learn from them the Leyth language."
