Todd Carney extends stay with new contract at Catalans Dragons
Tuesday 29 September 2015 21:41, UK
Todd Carney has ended speculation over his Super League future by agreeing a new three-year deal with Catalans Dragons.
The 26-year-old former international player of the year joined the Dragons on a three-year deal 12 months ago but appeared in just 12 of their 30 Super League matches this season due to a series of injuries.
Australian stand-off Carney arrived in Europe under a cloud after being sacked by each of his three NRL clubs but in March he won a case of wrongful dismissal against his most recent employers Cronulla.
Speculation started building on a possible return to Australia.
However, the Dragons said on Twitter on Tuesday night that Carney announced at the club's end-of-season awards dinner that he had signed a new three-year contract to stay in Perpignan.
The club tweeted: "Todd Carney has just announced at the awards night that he has signed a new 3-year deal with the Catalans Dragons."
