Head Coach Neil Fowkes has confirmed there are three long-term injuries within the Nottingham squad.

Billy Walker, James Connolly and Mat Clark will all spend lengthy spells on the sidelines due to injury.

He said: “We’ve got Billy Walker, James Connolly and Mat Clark who are out long-term. It’s a bit of a blow because they’re three massive players for us.

“The rest of the squad is healthy and we’ve got good competition and good confidence in those boys to see us right for the rest of the season.”
