Ethan Ryan: Hull KR winger faces lay-off to have wrist surgery

Ethan Ryan started his career at Bradford Bulls

Hull KR winger Ethan Ryan will have wrist surgery to repair an earlier scaphoid injury, which ended his 2021 season prematurely.

The 25-year-old Ireland international has had cruel luck with injuries, having struggled with his other wrist during the 2020 campaign.

Ryan will be in a cast for eight weeks before gradually returning to training.

"Not the news I wanted to hear," he tweeted. "But now's the time to get it right in time for a big 2022."
