Lachlan Coote's season is over after the Hull KR full-back suffered another concussion in last week's game against former club St Helens.
Coote was automatically ruled out of KR's next two matches after failing a HIA but because it was his third concussion of the year, he will play no further part in 2022.
The 32-year-old will therefore miss the derby against Hull FC on September 3 as well as the fixtures against Wakefield Trinity and Wigan Warriors.
It has been a heavily disrupted first season at Craven Park for Coote, yet he has still managed to contribute nine tries in 17 appearances.
Hull KR's interim head coach Danny McGuire has stressed that the experienced Australian has played an important role whether he has been on the field or not.
"Cootey has got another knock and that rules him out," said McGuire.
With the concussion protocols and everything surrounding it, he won't be available for the rest of the year now.
"We need to look after him and make sure he's alright and comes through the other side. He's had three concussions this year which rules him out of playing any further part.
"It's frustrating for Lachlan. It's been a very stop-start year and he's disappointed with that.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
