Bradford signed Tupou to replace Lesley Vainikolo a year ago
|
Bradford Bulls winger Tame Tupou will miss the rest of the season.
The 25-year-old New Zealand international needs an operation to repair his anterior cruciate ligament and will not play again this year.
Bulls coach Steve McNamara said: "It's very disappointing for both the player and the club and it's another major injury for us.
"The injury to Tame is a bad one and he has been advised that it needs operating on immediately."
It is another injury blow for the Bulls who have already lost back-row forward Glenn Morrison for the rest of the campaign with a serious knee injury.
Tupou joined the club last year as a replacement for the prolific Lesley Vainikolo, who left the club to join rugby union side Gloucester.
