McFadden joins Dragons as assistant
December 06, 2006 FORMER Canberra Raiders halfback Andrew McFadden has joined Catalans Dragons as assistant coach.
The 28-year-old McFadden has signed a two-year contract with the French Super League club and fills the vacancy caused by the departure of Paul Donkin.
He will quit his current job as Canberra's Premier League coach and will arrive in Perpignan early January to become right-hand man to Mick Potter.
?Andrew's signing will be a boost for our coaching staff and his experience and dynamism will help the club in 2007,? said Catalans chief executive Nicolas Rayer.
McFadden joins a new-look backroom staff as the Dragons seek to climb the Super League ladder after collecting the wooden spoon in their inaugural season.
French international five-eighth Laurent Frayssinous has hung up his boots to become kicking coach and another Australian, Rodney Howe, has taken over as conditioner from Matt Adamson.
