Injury update: Jack Welsby & Lewis Murphy

Following St.Helens’ Betfred Super League 2025 Round 13 fixture against Hull KR, it is unfortunate to confirm that Jack Welsby and Lewis Murphy have sadly suffered injuries.

Both players picked up their injuries in the fixture at Sewell Group Craven Park last Friday night and came off the field.

Welsby has suffered a knee injury that requires surgery, which took place today, Tuesday, 3rd June 2025. Unfortunately, this means that the Saints and England fullback is expected to be unavailable for match selection for 16 weeks.

Murphy in the act of trying to score in the corner during last Friday night’s match, suffered an injury to his quad, which is expected to make him unavailable to play for around eight weeks.

Head Coach Paul Wellens commented on the news and said: “Obviously, it is disappointing news for Jack and Lewis, and the Club will, as we always do, give them our full support in their injury recovery.

“I am certain Jack & Lewis will give their all in their rehab to get back on the field and contribute once again to our team when they return.”

Everyone at St.Helens R.F.C. would like to wish Jack and Lewis the very best with their recovery.
