After successfully returning to the field a fortnight ago following over a year on the sidelines, Ryan Sutton's bad luck has struck again.
Released by the Canterbury Bulldogs in March, Sutton recently made his long-awaited return to the field for the Ipswich Jets in the QLD Cup, which saw him start in the front-row and even cross for a try in the club's 30-22 loss to the Norths Devils.
However, he now faces another extended stint on the sidelines. According to The Daily Telegraph, Sutton has ruptured his biceps at a training session for Ipswich.
In what is another significant blow to the 29-year-old, it comes after he recently signed with the Gold Coast Titans on a train-and-trial contract in the hope of resurrecting his career.
An England 9s international, Sutton spent four seasons with the Canberra Raiders (2019-22) before making the move to the Bulldogs on a price-tag of $550,000-a-season, but failed to make an impact due to multiple injuries.
In two seasons at Belmore, he played in only 13 NRL matches, spending most of his tenure either on the sidelines due to a hip or knee issue or in the NSW Cup competition.
Not yet 30, Sutton could still have a long career in the NRL if he remains fit and healthy, but may decide to return to England, where he spent four years with the Wigan Warriors between 2014 and 2018.
