Catalans Dragons have signed Million Pound Game hero Lewis Tierney on a two-year contract.
Tierney spent the last three months of the 2017 season on loan from the Wigan Warriors and scored two tries in the 26-10 win over Leigh which kept the French club in Super League.
The 22-year-old has now secured a permanent move to the Dragons and will link up with his new team-mates when he gets back from World Cup duty with Scotland.
Coach Steve McNamara said: "Lewis proved to be a tremendous signing for us on loan last season and we are now delighted to have made that a permanent deal.
"His commitment, desire and determination to help us maintain our Super League status was there for all to see and we look forward to seeing him progress further as a player with the Dragons over the next two years."
Chief executive Christophe Jouffret added: "Lewis is one of the satisfactions of the tough end of season we had to face.
"The young full-back brought determination, freshness and enthusiasm to our squad. I would like to thank the Wigan Warriors who have agreed to grant Lewis a release to join our club."
