The St George Illawarra Dragons have confirmed utility Kyle Stanley will require a two-stage surgery to repair knee ligament damage that will rule him out of the 2013 season.
The Hurstville United junior had met with several specialists throughout the course of last week with his MRI scan and recommendations confirming he will require the surgery.
“The Dragons have decided today to proceed with a two-stage operation that will repair the injured ligament in Kyle’s knee,” said Dragons Performance Director Andrew Gray.
“As a result, it will be required that he spend an extended period away from the game.
“We believe that this process will give Kyle the best chance of making a full recovery which is our main priority at this time.”
Stanley, 21, slipped on a wet surface away from the training venue and re-injured his knee that was reconstructed earlier in the year.
