Former Kangaroos and Wallabies star Israel Folau has signed a one-year contract extension with Super League club Catalans Dragons.

The talented outside back will now call the Gilbert Brutus Stadium home until at least the end of 2021.

"Me and my family are very excited to stay on at the club for season 2021," Folau told the Catalans website.

"We're very grateful for the opportunity that [Catalans CEO] Bernard Guasch and the Dragons have given me. I'm looking forward to working hard and achieving great success on the field with my teammates and this great club."

Catalans coach Steve McNamara was thrilled to have secured Folau’s signing.

"The most impressive asset he showed in the short period before the confinement was his willingness to work hard for the team," McNamara said.

"On top of that, he clearly is a great athlete with a tremendous skill set."
