Brisbane Lions can confirm captain, Jonathan Brown, was involved in an accident with a vehicle while riding his bike on the Gold Coast early this morning.

Brown was riding with a group of about 20 cyclists when the accident occurred in the Currumbin Valley.

He was taken a nearby hospital where he had a thorough check up - including scans - and was cleared of any serious injury.

He received 10 stitches to an elbow.

Brown has contacted Club officials personally and notified them that he is OK.

The Lions would like to thank its many members who contacted the Club expressing their concern for Brown's health and wellbeing.
