Hull FC<\/a>, but head coach Willie Peters will be keeping an eye on Kershaw 24 hours later in Huddersfield.<\/p>\n\u201cEveryone’s okay, but I do want to say that Lee Kershaw is coming back through the reserves this week,\u201d Peters revealed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe initially weren’t sure of exactly when it would be, but he’s got through a lot of his rehabilitation and our performance team are really happy with where he’s at.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was great to see him at training this week – I’m really happy for him. He’s a great person and he’s gone through a rough track with his ACL, but it was great to see him. He trained with a real buzz about him and his team-mates had a real buzz too because he was on the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m looking forward to seeing him build his game again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kershaw remains off-contract at the end of 2026, having initially signed a two-year deal with Rovers.<\/p>\n
But Peters insists the Bradford native\u2019s priority will be to enjoy his rugby again after almost 12 months out.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor Kersh, it’s just about making sure that knee’s right and starting to enjoy his game again,\u201d said Peters.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere’s no doubt he’ll want to be playing for a contract, whether that’s here or at another club. Naturally, the board and the new coach will be looking at renewals. I’ll certainly (chip in) if they ask my opinion.<\/p>\n
\u201cKersh has got a lot to offer, he’s been unlucky. He’s a great person to have around the club, but the main thing for him now is just playing again and making sure he gets through some games.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a few weeks\u2019 time I guess that’s when we can start to look at his game closer, what the areas he’s doing well are, what he needs to work on – and where the club see him next year.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that stuff is certainly not for now, he’s just come back from a long-term injury. I’m just glad to see him back on the field again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He is set for a long-awaited return to the field this weekend.
