Wakefield Trinity's Cameron Scott has thanked medical staff from both clubs following his injury scare in Friday's 40-22 loss at Leeds Rhinos.

The centre was taken to hospital but later cleared of serious damage after being knocked cold just five minutes into the derby at AMT Headingley, which Trinity lost 40-22. Medical staff from both teams treated Scott on the field during an 11-minute delay before he was carried off on a stretcher.

In a message on social media today (Saturday), Scott said: "I appreciate all the messages and well wishes after yesterday. I got discharged at 1am last night with just a severe concussion, thankfully."

He added: "I'd also like to thank the medical staff of Wakefield Trinity and Leeds Rhinos for acting so quickly and professionally in getting me sorted. As players, it really doesn't go unnoticed.

"It does put things into perspective playing this game when these things happen, so once again I appreciate all the messages of support and the help I received on and off the field."
