Hull FC’s Australian scrum-half Brett Seymour will be released from hospital this afternoon after being involved in a car crash, the Super League club have confirmed.

Seymour was admitted to Hull Royal Infirmary after the accident involving his BMW, which occurred in Hessle last night, and was visited by his family, close friends and club officials this morning.

“Medical examinations have revealed he suffered no serious injuries and he is expected to be discharged on Monday afternoon,” said a club spokesman.

Hull say the 28-year-old will be placed on leave with immediate effect.

The former Cronulla and Brisbane half-back, who joined Hull from New Zealand Warriors at the start of last season, played in their 36-16 defeat at Widnes Vikings on Saturday.
