- Footy icon’s son hospitalised after dangerous tackle
- Injured teenager is expected to make a full recovery
The teenage son of rugby league great James Moloney gave his parents a heart-stopping scare over the weekend when he had to be hospitalised after being on the end of a heavy tackle during a local footy match.
On Sunday, Kade Moloney’s mother, Jess, took to social media to share the concerning news about her 14-year-old.
‘Well today took a nasty unexpected turn,’ she began.
‘Kade got tackled head first into the ground and had some tingling in his legs and arms and was pretty dazed.
‘Everyone at the grounds were so amazing and took all the precautions and the ambulance ladies were incredible.
‘He’s still under observation but so far everything is looking good just waiting for the ct results. He’ll be very sore for the next few days no doubt.

‘This mumma’s nerves are hanging by a thread to say the least.’
Jess posted several photos of Kade still in his footy gear being checked out at Nepean Hospital.
In December last year, Kade caused his family significant alarm after going missing from their Green Point home in the early hours of the morning.
CCTV footage later revealed that Kade had purchased a train ticket in Gosford on the NSW central coast at 1.51am.
Police launched a search operation and fortunately the teenager was located safe and sound later that night.
‘Thank you to everyone who has helped to find him, offered support, and shared this post to get it out to as many people as possible,’ Jess wrote on social media, expressing the family’s significant gratitude.
James Maloney, an footy icon, chalked up 247 NRL appearances over 11 seasons at five clubs and also represented NSW and Australia in a decorated career.
His achievements include premiership wins with the Roosters in 2013 and the Sharks in 2016.
