Joe Westerman: Hull FC back-rower plays on after he dislocates his kneecap


Joe Westerman was left on the floor but bashed his own kneecap back into place

Hull FC back-rower Joe Westerman took bravery and toughness to a new level in Thursday’s Super League defeat by rivals Hull Kingston Rovers.

The 29-year-old dislocated his kneecap in the midst of the game, but rather than end his evening, whacked it back into place and carried on.

“It’s sweet, to be honest,” Westerman told the club wesbsite.
