Catalans Dragons have confirmed they are "co-operating" with police after five players were arrested following an alleged brawl in Leeds city centre.

The players were held overnight while their colleagues returned to France following Sunday's 28-20 defeat to Wakefield.

According to West Yorkshire Police, a total of nine men have been held in custody - with two men taken hospital for treatment to head injuries, which are not thought to be life-threatening.

The incident took place Boar Lane in Leeds at 2.15am and was captured on CCTV.

In a statement, the Dragons said: "The club are co-operating fully with the police in their investigations. The club will make no further comment at this stage."
