Reds recruit Caleb Timu will not make his Super Rugby debut in 2016, after suffering a serious knee injury.

Timu ruptured his ACL in training on Wednesday, ending his code switch before it truly had a chance to take off.

The former Brisbane Broncos U20s player and Australian Schoolboys representative signed with the Reds a fortnight ago, linking him to the club until the end of 2017.
