Unwanted Canterbury<\/a> halfback Toby Sexton will head to the Super League<\/a> next year to play for Catalans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Dragons on Friday morning announced the signing of the 24-year-old playmaker for 2026.<\/p>\n

His departure from Belmore comes after the club signed boom teenager Lachlan Galvin<\/a> mid-season.<\/p>\n

In his first game for the Dogs, Galvin ran off the bench and told Sexton to play hooker, which the latter initially thought was a joke.<\/p>\n

At the time Sexton's Bulldogs were sitting top of the NRL ladder, although they are now second behind Canberra.<\/p>\n

Still, \ufeffwhether they go on to win the NRL premiership this season or not, Sexton will be out the door the next day.<\/p>\n

He will replace NRL great Luke Keary<\/a> as the Catalans halfback.<\/p>\n

Reports out of England and France this week say Keary will leave the Dragons despite having a year to run on his contract.<\/p>\n

The gun pivot – who won three NRL premierships across two clubs – has been underwhelming in a poor Catalans side this season.<\/p>\n

"Coming over I had really high expectations at Catalans," Keary told the UK's League Express.<\/p>\n

"It's been a challenge, one of the toughest periods I've gone through as a footy player."\ufeff<\/p>\n

Keary put plenty of noses out of joint in the Super League when he gave a raw interview to Wide World of Sports in April<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\ufeffKeary urged the NRL to purchase the Super League to improve the state of rugby league in Europe.<\/p>\n

"I'll go on the record saying (the Super League) is in such a bad way, the game is horrendous over here," Keary told WWOS.<\/p>\n

"It's the product, the coverage, the news around the game, there is zero. There is zero.<\/p>\n

"You watch the games, they're near unwatchable. The way Sky do it now, or whoever's got it, it's near unwatchable, and the players all know it. I can't follow it and I f—ing play in it.<\/p>\n

"You can't watch the games, it's so bad … it's horrendous. The coverage and everything, and because we're in France too they don't show the games."<\/p>\n

Those comments angered Super League hierarchy, although Keary was supported by his coach Steve McNamara.<\/p>\n

McNamara was sacked by Catalans in May.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
