Leeds Rhinos have confirmed star forward Zane Tetevano is set to have surgery after tests revealed he has a hole in the heart which caused him to have a stroke during a training session a few weeks ago.
Rohan Smith initially told the media that the Cook Islands international was set for an indefinite spell on the sidelines due to a medical issue. Now the news is out and an outpour of well wishers have taken to social media. The club have also thanked the team at Leeds General Infirmary, who ensured Tetevano received the right treatment immediately.
Further tests that revealed he has a hole in the heart which caused the stroke means the 32-year-old is set to go under the knife to repair the issue.
