Catalan Dragons full-back Clint Greenshields has said that it will be an "emotional" occasion when he runs out at the Gilbert Brutus Stadium for the last time.

The 30-year-old is ending his six-year stint in the south of France and returning to Australia at the end of this season, meaning that Friday's game against Leeds Rhinos is likely to be his last in Perpignan.

"It will definitely be an emotional time," he said. "I've been there six years and left a lot on the field there.

"I'm going to leave a lot of friends and a lot of special people behind but it's good timing and it's what I've got to do.

"I have a really close family at home and six years is a bit long to stay away from them."

Greenshields is the Dragons' longest-serving overseas player.
