Beau Scott's NRL season is over and his career remains in doubt after scans confirmed the Parramatta forward had suffered a serious knee injury.
The off-contract veteran limped from the field in the Eels' 10-point loss to the Warriors at ANZ Stadium on Friday night.
Scans over the weekend confirmed that Scott had ruptured his left anterior cruciate ligament, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
The 34-year-old has played 243 NRL games but has battled a number of injuries in recent years.
He overcame an originally season-ending bicep injury to play in last year's finals.
He was returning from a shoulder problem on Friday night.
"Beau has been an integral part of the Parramatta Eels Club and we will fully support him in his recovery," the Eels said in a statement on Sunday.
Renowned as one of the toughest players in the competition, Scott won a premiership with the Dragons in 2010 and has also played for Cronulla and Newcastle.
The second-rower played a pivotal role in NSW's 2014 State of Origin series win and played three Tests for Australia.
