Catalans Dragons centre Vincent Duport has signed a new two-year contract with the club.
The France international, who is second in the French club's all-time tryscoring chart with 61 touchdowns in 140 Super League games, will now remain at the Gilbert Brutus Stadium until at least the end of the 2018 campaign.
Duport, who has bagged six tries in 20 Super League outings this term, said: "I'm really happy to have re-signed for two years with the Catalans Dragons. I've been here for 10 years now and I'm really proud to be part of this club.
"I would like to thank the fans for their support throughout the good and bad times. Their support is essential for us and they are one of the reasons we want to give our best every day."
Dragons chief executive Christophe Jouffret said: "We are very happy to keep Vincent at the club. He is a player who has worked really hard to succeed and he is an example for all the young players here at the club.
"His humility and perseverance have been rewarded with this new two-year contract."
Head coach Laurent Frayssinous added: "He is a player that every coach would like to have in his squad, his professionalism and attitude on and off the field are an example to all.
"He is a safe bet in the competition who brings his experience to the group and he is someone who always gives his best, especially in the key moments."
