Catalans Dragons have dismissed reports Israel Folau has turned his back on the club and could leave the Super League

Catalans Dragons have dismissed reports Israel Folau has turned his back on the club and could leave the Super League

21 January 2021 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

The 31-year-old returned home at the end of last season with his family and has yet to report back to the French club.

That's prompted speculation the dual international will not honour a contract he has extended to the end of this year.

Dragons coach Steve McNamara says he has kept in regular contact with Folau, who remains committed but needs to remain in Australia for personal reasons as well as restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
