Blow for Raiders as prized import faces three months out

Canberra's Matty Nicholson faces three months out due to an ankle injury, disrupting their NRL prospects.

Canberra Weekly

Canberra's unlikely, charmed run to the NRL's top four has hit an early roadblock with English import Matty Nicholson facing three months on the sideline.

Back-rower Nicholson has been a revelation since arriving at Canberra from Super League club Warrington over the off-season.

The 21-year-old Yorkshireman has made a spot on the Raiders' right edge his own, registering five tries in nine games.

But Nicholson is now staring at a prolonged absence from the NRL after sustaining an ankle injury and fracture to his fibula in last weekend's loss to Canterbury.
