Lowdown on Leeds Rhinos target Mickael Goudemand with French star linked

In what has been a surprising transfer rumour, Catalans Dragons mainstay Mickael Goudemand could be swapping Perpignan for Headingley in 2024 after being linked with a move to Leeds Rhinos.

The 27-year-old, who has made 86 Super League appearances for Catalans, has spent the entirety of his professional career in his native country whilst spending time on loan at Dewsbury Rams before his Super League bow. He was also part of the Dragons side that won the 2018 Challenge Cup Final and has been a regular since debuting against the Rhinos in 2018.

The France captain is more of a bench player, but a very good one at that. In 114 career games, 79 of those have been as a substitute. Goudemand is known for adding pace and aggression to the pack when called upon and boasts 13 tries to his name, which is hard to come by for a middle who doesn't start contests regularly.
