DEAN Parata will come up against his old Barrow Raiders team-mates next season after signing for Betfred Championship side Toulouse Olympique.
The Italy international hooker made 30 appearances and scored five tries during the 2018 season with Barrow.
He has now made the switch to Toulouse and is aiming to be part of a promotion push for the French side.
“I am very excited about joining Toulouse and taking part in this project,” Parata told Toulouse Olympique’s official website.
“I love the way the team plays and I hope to help the club reach Super League.”
