Will Kirby, young prospect of Hull FC, was forced to leave his teammates for a long period due to a serious knee injury sustained during the match against Wakefield. This injury occurred when he had just completed his first starts with the club.
Hard blow for Hull FC: young pillar Will Kirby is sidelined for an extended period following a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The injury occurred in the opening minutes of the home defeat to Wakefield last week. At just 20 years old, Kirby had just established himself in the starting group, making two consecutive starts for the Black and Whites for the first time.

Asked about this, interim coach Andy Last did not hide his disappointment on BBC Radio Humberside: “This is very bad news for the club, and especially for young Will. It's really sad, he was only just getting his first team chance, gaining my trust and that of his teammates. Unfortunately, this sport sometimes has a way of putting you in your place at the worst time. »
Kirby will now have to begin a rehabilitation phase, while Hull FC will have to do without their young prospect for the rest of the season.
