Former Cronulla flyer Nathan Stapleton has been hospitalised with a serious spinal injury after fracturing his neck while playing country rugby union.

He was taken to the spinal unit at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, with a welfare officer at his former club Cronulla also checking on he and his young family's wellbeing. The match was immediately abandoned while the 32-year-old was treated by a nurse at the ground. Stapleton was hurt in a ruck during the second half of his Boorowa club's opening game of the season against West Wyalong on April 9.
