all the best Trent and congrats on your position with Catalan.
Catalans Dragons have named Australian Trent Robinson as their new head coach on a three year contract.
The 33-year-old, who replaces the outgoing Kevin Walters, joins the Perpignan club from Sydney Roosters where he was working as assistant coach to former Hull and Bradford boss Brian Smith.
The former Roosters, Parramatta and West Tigers player also had a stint with Toulouse before succeeding Justin Morgan as coach in 2005.
"I am proud to sign with the Catalans Dragons and come back to France after my time in Toulouse," said Robinson, who can speak fluent French.
"I know the French culture and way of life and I want the team to develop its own game. I know I am ready to manage a Super League team and I am looking forward to the challenge."
Catalans CEO Christophe Jouffret said of Robinson: "He is a young coach but with strong experience at the highest level in the NRL.
"His profile suits our club which must improve after five years in Super League. He is young, ambitious, a hard worker and with new ideas to develop French rugby league. "
