Catalans Dragons have released winger Fouad Yaha immediately to enable him to switch codes and join Top 14 club Agen.
The 22-year-old, a member of the Dragons team that won the Challenge Cup at Wembley last month, has signed a two-year contract with the rugby union club.
Yaha, who came through the club’s academy, scored 32 tries in 62 Super League appearances for the Catalans and was in the France team that lost to England in their last group match of the 2017 World Cup.
