Nathan Brown signs with Catalan Dragons after leaving Manly Sea Eagles

Nathan Brown has signed with the Catalan Dragons for the 2027 season following his departure from the Manly Sea Eagles. The 33-year-old forward ends his NRL career after 201 games, transitioning to the Super League team where he will join coach John Cartwright. Brown played 53 games at Manly over two seasons before the club confirmed it would not extend his contract beyond 2026. His exit opens opportunities for younger players like Simione Laiafi to step into a more significant role in Manly's forward pack. Several former NRL players will also join Catalans next season, building a competitive unit after finishing ninth this year.
