  • Footy fans have been left fuming after a player was upended in a horror tackle
  • The incident took place this weekend during Campbelltown’s game vs Oakdale 

Footy fans have blasted a club rugby league player for a horrific tackle on an opponent that could have ended in tragic circumstances.

The incident took place during a match between the Campbelltown City Kangaroos and the Oakdale Workers over the weekend.

Creedence Kelly-Donovan, who is the brother of former ex-NRL halfback Albert Kelly had been playing fullback and jumped up in the air to collect a high ball.

But while he was in the air, he was upended by an Oakland player, who sprinted at full pelt into the Kangaroos player’s lower body.

Despite collecting the catch, Kelly-Donovan flipped 180 in the air and appeared to land dangerously land on his shoulder, with his neck and head bending at an awkward angle as he made contact with the ground.

Thankfully, the footy player was recovering well following the shocking tackle.

Rugby league fans have slammed a club-level footballer for this horror tackle during a game over the weekend 

A Campbelltown Kangaroos player landed on his head and shoulder but it said to be recovering OK following the shocking hit

A Campbelltown Kangaroos player landed on his head and shoulder but it said to be recovering OK following the shocking hit  

‘At the time of the incident I felt shocked,’ Kelly Donovan said to The Daily Telegraph.

He had remained on the floor appearing to clutch his shoulder after the hit.

‘I am recovering well,’ he added.

‘Football is football. It’s a contact sport and moving forward I want to get back out there and play footy.’

It is unknown whether the Oakland player received an on-field sanction or will cop a ban for the hit.  

Social media users on X vented their fury at the poorly timed tackle on X.

Referring to the tackler, one fan wrote: ‘Eyes never watching the ball, just intent on the hit. 10 weeks. I assume the other guy is okay. That could have been a tragic outcome.’

‘Season for that. He had no intention of doing anything except hitting him in the air. He was running at the fullback flat chat to do it,’ another wrote.

‘That’s a shocker,’ another said, while one added: ‘Scary stuff.’

‘Wow, that is one of the worst ‘tackles’ I’ve ever seen that. Season-long ban for me,’ one X user said.
