In a surprising turn of events, Catalans Dragons have announced that captain Benjamin Garcia will be loaned to an undisclosed club following a disagreement with the coaching staff. This decision comes as a shock to many, given Garcia’s integral role in the team and his recent contract extension earlier this year.
Garcia, who has been with the Dragons since 2013, has been a cornerstone of the team, leading them to two Super League Grand Finals in 2021 and 2023. His leadership on and off the field has been widely recognized, making this move particularly unexpected.
The nature of the disagreement has not been disclosed, but sources within the club suggest it pertains to strategic decisions made by the coaching staff. The Dragons have yet to release an official statement detailing the terms of Garcia’s loan or the duration of his absence.
This development raises questions about the team’s dynamics and future performance without their captain. Fans and analysts alike will be keenly observing how the Dragons navigate the remainder of the season in Garcia’s absence.
As more information becomes available, updates will be provided on this evolving story.
