In addition to his time at Catalans, Langi played three games in the National Rugby League with Sydney Roosters and also had a short stint at Leigh in 2017.
"I've had a few conversations with Mark and I am really looking forward to working with him," Langi said. "His coaching style and the way he wants us to play particularly excites me."
