Delaney, 22, also confirmed the news on his Instagram on Wednesday, posting a post-operation picture with his arm in a sling.

“Surgery done gutted my season has come to an end early,” he wrote in the caption.

“Tough few months ahead getting back fit ready for the challenge and looking forward to next year.”

The forward was one of three players taken off during the 38-16 loss to Wigan, with Jed Cartwright picking up a quad issue and Matty Evans failing his HIA.
