Bradford have confirmed that prop Nick Scruton will be sidelined for three months with a dislocated wrist.
The 26-year-old will undergo surgery on Tuesday after suffering the injury during last week’s 28-16 defeat to St Helens.
The former Leeds front-row has been a key figure for the Bulls this season and recently agreed a new three-year deal.
“It’s a big blow losing Nick because he has been playing so well,” Bradford football manager Stuart Duffy said.
“We assessed the damage during the week to see whether or not Nick would be able to continue playing.
“Tests showed that Nick would not be able to play effectively with the injury and, after consultation with the club’s medical team, it was decided to have surgery as soon as possible to allow Nick to return later in the season.”
