Simpson cleared of serious injury

Leeds Rhinos youngster Max Simpson has been cleared of serious injury and released from hospital to return home after pre-cautionary checks. 

The centre suffered a neck injury in the second half of the 34-0 win at Hull FC. He was playing his first senior game since July 2022 having overcome a number of injuries to be back to full fitness. As a pre-caution following soreness to his neck, the Rhinos medical team stretchered Simpson from the field and he was taken to hospital in Hull to be checked over. He was released a soon while after to return home to Leeds. 

We would like to thank the Hull FC medical staff who were on hand to offer assistance to the Rhinos own medical team and the ambulance and hospital staff who looked after Max. We would also like to thank the well wishers from both clubs who have been in touch who saw the incident either at the ground or on Sky Sports.
