Aitken has scored six tries in just 11 appearance this season but has been limited by ongoing hamstring problems. His shoulder injury adds to that frustration.
"Upon consultation with a shoulder specialist it was determined that the best course of action for Euan’s shoulder injury is conservative management with the hope that he may be able to return to play this season," the club’s head of performance Nathan Pickworth said.
Coach Paul McGregor said he felt for Aitken who’s missed his fair share of football this season.
“He’s missed a lot footy this year with his hamstring tendon,” McGregor said.
“He came back and missed another game last week and then came back [against Manly] and did his shoulder so it’s been a tough run for the young man.”
