Bradford Bulls loose forward Danny Addy will miss the next two months of the season after fracturing a thumb.
The 20-year-old picked up the injury in Sunday’s win over Harlequins and will have surgery on Tuesday.
Bulls football manager Stuart Duffy said: “He has been playing well this season and his injury is a further blow to the squad.
“We will have to cope without him and we are lucky that we have other players that can cover his positions.”
Addy, who was making his third appearance of the season, had only been drafted into the squad on Saturday as a late replacement for Heath L’Estrange.
The news is a further blow to Bulls coach Mick Potter, coming just days after it was confirmed that prop forward Nick Scruton will miss the next 12 weeks with a dislocated wrist.
