Nero has been an ever-present for Bradford this season

Bradford's Chris Nero will be out for between six and eight weeks because of a fractured collarbone.

Nero was injured in Sunday's 46-24 win at Castleford and X-rays confirmed the extent of the injury.

The second rower, who was at Huddersfield last season, has played all of Bradford's Super League matches so far this year.

Nero, 27, will miss Friday's derby with Leeds and the Carnegie Challenge Cup quarter-final against Hull on 1 June.
