Scans ease Ellis injury fears Super League

2nd February 2013

Hull FC say scans have showed the foot injury sustained by new signing Gareth Ellis is not as bad as first feared, although he is facing a spell on the sidelines.

The England back rower, who was appointed as the Black and Whites’ captain after joining them on a three-year contract from Wests Tigers, injured his foot during the warm-up for last night’s Super League opener at Leeds.

The injury rekindled memories of the fractured foot that kept the 31-year-old former Wakefield Trinity Wildcats and Leeds Rhinos favourite out for three months last season but Hull say it is not a re-occurrence of the same injury.

“Ellis will visit a specialist early next week before an accurate assessment of the extent of his injury can be confirmed and how long he’ll be out of action,” said a Hull spokesman.
