WARNING: Pictures in tweet below contain graphic images of injury
A FORMER Bradford Bulls Academy ace turned wrestling star has revealed the full extent of his 'freak injury' he suffered in a match.
Luke Menzies, who wrestles under the character name Ridge Holland, broke and dislocated his left ankle, dislocated his knee cap and ruptured the patellar tendon on his right leg in a wrestling match.
He suffered the injury on an episode of World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) NXT programme, where Holland brawled with fellow wrestlers Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch after defeating the latter in a match.
As he caught Lorcan leaping over the top rope to deliver a cross-body move, Holland suffered the injuries and he had to be stretchered out of the arena.
Menzies, who was sidelined in October last year, is recovering from the injury, and he hopes to be back in action later this year.
He took to Twitter to post images of the injuries he suffered in then match:
