Sebit Kuek is set for a long stint on the sidelines after scans revealed the forward has sustained an ACL injury.
Â
The injury occurred during Peel Thunder’s clash with East Fremantle, played at Country Builders Stadium in Geraldton on Sunday.
Â
A mid-season draftee in 2022, the 22-year-old has shown himself to be an exciting prospect, kicking 25 goals in 13 WAFL games. He has recently been rewarded with a one-year contract extension for the 2024 season.
Â
Executive General Manager of Football Peter Bell said the Club would support Kuek through his rehabilitation.
Â
“Sebit hyperextended his knee contesting the football for Peel on Sunday and unfortunately, scans have revealed he has torn his ACL,” Bell said.
Â
“It’s really disappointing news for Sebit, who has been committed to his development at Peel and has performed at a high standard. On the back of these performances, he has signed a contract for the 2024 season.
Â
“We’ll give Sebit all the support he needs to get back on the field and back to his best.”
