Warrington's Kiwi forward Louis Anderson is to leave the club at the end of the season to join Catalan Dragons on a three-year contract.

"Louis is an exciting signing for us," said Dragons coach Trent Robinson. "He is a big game player.

"He has shown his quality in Super League and, at the age of 26 and with the experience he will bring, will be a great addition to our squad."

Anderson joined the Wolves from the New Zealand Warriors back in 2008.

He was a member of the Warrington team which lifted the Challenge Cup both in 2009 and 2010, scoring one of the tries in last year's final.

"I am excited to join the Catalans," he said. "They have been outstanding this season so far.

"I am also looking forward to the French lifestyle and enjoying a different culture in a wonderful country."

Anderson, who has made 67 appearances for the Warriors, made his Test debut for the Kiwis in 2004 and went on to play in 13 consecutive internationals, including in the 2005 Tri Nations success.

He was also part of the Exiles side who defeated England in the recent mid-season international in June.
