James Green: Hull Kingston Rovers prop ruled out for season

James Green has scored two tries for Hull KR this season

Hull KR prop James Green has been ruled out for the rest of the season after having surgery on a shoulder injury.

The 25-year-old, who has played 20 games for Rovers this term, dislocated his acromioclavicular (AC) joint in the 24-20 defeat by Leeds in July.

The injury comes as a blow for a Hull KR side looking to retain its Super League status though the Qualifiers.

Rovers, who finished second from bottom in Super League, host Batley in their Qualifiers opener on Sunday.
