HULL Kingston Rovers have confirmed that Danny Addy has been ruled out long term with a complex knee injury.

The former Bulls star, who moved to Craven Park for the 2017 season, suffered the injury in the first half of Sunday's pre-season friendly against neighbours Hull FC, with scans since revealing the full extent of the damage.

Addy is set to see a specialist this week to discuss the best options for his surgery and recovery, although it is thought the versatile forward is likely to miss the full 2018 campaign.

Rovers say the Scotland international, who turned 26 yesterday, will remain fully involved at the club while completing his rehabilitation.
