Warrington Wolves half-back Oli Leyland will miss the remainder of the 2025 Super League season having suffered a serious knee injury.

The 24-year-old joined the Wire ahead of this season from London Broncos after a breakthrough season for the Wimbledon-based club last season.

He has made five appearances this season and suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during Friday's defeat by Hull KR.

"The club is right behind Oli and will support him with every step of his recovery," a club statement said.

Leyland has found opportunities limited since Marc Sneyd's arrival at the club from Salford Red Devils this season.

He turned out for Widnes in a solitary appearance for the club in April and returned to the Wire to put in an impressive performance against Wigan Warriors at this month's Magic Weekend prior to his injury.
