The wife of Hull FC scrum-half Brett Seymour has revealed he is suffering from depression.

The 28-year-old was involved in a car crash in which his BMW was flipped onto its roof after colliding with two parked vehicles.

The player spent Sunday night in hospital and has since been discharged having suffered no serious injuries as a result of the collision.

Seymour was subject to abuse by Hull FC fans following his part in the 36-16 defeat to Widnes Vikings and is being placed on leave by the club.

Roseanne Seymour told a Facebook group created to wish the player well: “He is getting the help he needs and your support has helped greatly. Depression is a silent killer – I want each and every one of you to know that we feel so grateful to you.”
