Olivier Elima makes return to Catalan Dragons

France captain Olivier Elima is to leave Bradford at the end of the season and return to Catalan Dragons. The 29-year-old second rower has signed a two-year contract to return to France after previously playing for the Perpignan club from 2008-10. "I've been at the club before, I know the players and I'm obviously the France captain," Elima told the Bradford Telegraph & Argus. "It's just an easy link for me to go back there with my family." Co-incidentally, Elima's next game for the Bulls will be against the Dragons in Perpignan on Saturday in the final game of the regular season. It will also be his last unless Bradford secure victory and play-off rivals Wakefield lose to Salford.
