NEWS | Joshua Veacock will not be returning to Doncaster this season

Australian hooker Joshua Veacock will miss the rest of the season after suffering a broken leg.

Veacock returned to Australia earlier this month for personal reasons but it was hoped that he would be in a position to rejoin the Dons squad before the end of the season.

However, he suffered a broken leg in an accident at home and will be sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.

Dons chief executive Carl Hall said “Josh and his family aren’t having the best of luck lately and all we can do is support where possible and send our best wishes.”

Joshua Veacock said "I really enjoyed my time at Doncaster, I would love to come back and be a part of the culture there should that be an option in the future, Donny are an unreal club and I appreciate the support. I'll be on the mend in no time!" 

All at the Dons wish Joshua a speedy recovery and send our best wishes to his family.

The club hope to announce a replacement in the coming days.
