Harry Curtis is awaiting surgery after breaking his leg during last night's game.

The club has thanked everyone who helped Harry during the 'chaotic and distressing' situation at last night's game.

The match at Abbey Rangers was abandoned following a tackle on the player two before half time.

It has since been confirmed that the defender suffered a double leg break.

A club statement says the player was helped to the hospital, after a delayed ambulance response, by the club captain James Queree, who stayed with Harry overnight.

Jersey Bulls expressed their support for Harry and his family, as well as all of the players, staff and supporters that were affected by last night's incident.

"His family have flown over and are now with Harry and will accompany him back when he is released from hospital.

Thanks to the Abbey Rangers Manager, Adam Bessent, Captain Luke Robertson and the Match Officials Jake Symes, Steve Hart, and Simon Smith, for their compassion and understanding with regards to the abandonment of the game.

Our support goes out to Harry, his family, and all of the players, staff and supporters that were affected by last night's incident and we hope to welcome him back to Springfield shortly."

Jersey Bulls had been 1-0 down when the game was halted.  The league will decide what happens about the abandoned fixture.
