Young Knight dealt cruel injury blow ahead of NRL side’s trials
One of Newcastle’s rising talents has been dealt a cruel start to the new year, suffering a long-term knee injury little more than a month out from the NRL side’s first trial.
However, this will no longer be the case as Linnane suffered a ruptured ACL at training earlier this week and is set to be sidelined for the entirety of the 2025 NRL season, per The Newcastle Herald,
Linnane, the nephew of Steve Linnane – who featured in 118 matches for the Knights and Dragons – is one of the club’s best young players but has been struck down with a cruel injury blow.
Training with the first-grade squad after being promoted to the Knights’ development list, the playmaker was looking to make a case and force his way into the NRL side sometime this season.
Less than two months before the opening round of the 2025 NRL season, a Newcastle Knights youngster has reportedly sustained a season-ending injury after recently returning to the field from injury.
