Hull FC full-back Will Pryce has ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and ‘is expected’ to miss the rest of the 2026 season.
The 23-year-old suffered the devastating injury in the latter stages of Saturday’s game at Wigan Warriors, with Pryce going down awkwardly after a heavy tackle. He left the field in visible discomfort.
The full-back went for scans on Monday morning, as confirmed by head coach John Cartwright in his pre-match press conference early this afternoon, with results later today revealing a serious knee injury in what is a crushing blow for both the player and the team.
Pryce signed for Hull in the early part of last season on a three-a-half-year contract, with hamstring and foot injuries restricting him to ten appearances. After a strong off-season, he started the year at full fitness and with a Man of the Match performance against Bradford Bulls two weeks ago, but will now under a lengthy rehabilitation period process after surgery.
A statement from Hull FC read: “Hull FC can provide an injury update on Will Pryce. Pryce left the field of play with injury in the closing stages of Saturday’s Super League Round 2 fixture against Wigan Warriors. Following scans today, the club can confirm that Pryce has suffered a ruptured ACL.
“The full-back is expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the 2026 season. Pryce will undergo surgery in the coming weeks and begin his rehabilitation. Everyone at the club sends Will their best wishes at this difficult time.”
