Harry Newman has confirmed his season is finished. The Leeds Rhinos and England centre, a star performer for the Rhinos, has confirmed that that he has been forced to have hamstring surgery, ruling him out of the World Cup and Grand Final.
It's a cruel blow for the youngster, widely regarded as one of the best young players in the world. It's a miserable end to a frustrating season for Newman, with injury and suspension restricting him to just seven appearances this year. He missed the start of the campaign with a hamstring issue, returned but then missed another period with another hamstring setback and has continued to struggle all year.
His absence is a hammer blow for both club and country. The Rhinos are in the Grand Final next Saturday while he was set to be part of Shaun Wane's squad in the Autumn. England are already set to be without the likes of Alex Walmsley, Liam Farrell and potentially others.
