Fighting for life : Connor Lynes was found collapsed on his bedroom floor morning after his rugby match . A 14-year-old boy was today fighting for his life after suffering a blood clot on his brain when he was injured playing rugby . Connor Lynes , of Hull , East Yorkshire , returned home after playing for his under-15s rugby league team on Saturday - but was found collapsed on his bedroom floor the next morning . After being taken to Hull Royal Infirmary , Connor was put in an induced coma and doctors removed 90 per cent of the clot - in a potentially life-saving operation . He was transferred to Leeds General Infirmary on Sunday , where he underwent another operation yesterday to try to remove the rest . Now , he may face a third surgery . His family are now asking people to pray for ‘ little Robin ’ , who plays for Lambwath Lions . Connor ’ s uncle Dave Lynes said : ‘ We want people to pray for Connor and keep their fingers crossed . We still do not know if he will pull through . It is just heartbreaking at the moment . ‘ He is a cheeky little lad and he is full of mischief . He has got a heart of gold , has lots and lots of friends and is very popular at school , at his club and at Hull Kingston Rovers. ’ Mr Lynes said Connor , who lives with his aunt , Sara , was injured after being tackled . He added : ‘ Connor was playing rugby for his local under-15s team and took a bit of a hard hit in the tackle . They took him off straight away but he seemed fine . 'He was at home on Saturday night being his usual cheeky self . My sister got up the next morning and found him collapsed on the bedroom floor and rushed him to hospital . ' Connor , who plays for Lambwath Lions , suffered a blood clot on his brain when he was injured playing rugby . Mr Lynes said it was tough for relatives to see Connor , a pupil at Winifred Holtby Academy , in hospital , adding that the family are 'totally powerless at the moment ' . He said : ‘ He has had such a hard life – he lost his father when he was young but is still such a cheeky lad . He is not just my nephew , but he is like a son to me as well. ’ Mr Lynes said Connor loves rugby and is a huge fan of Super League side Hull Kingston Rovers . He added : 'Connor broke his leg four years ago and the doctors said he would never play rugby again . It was bad - he broke his tibia and fibula - but a year later , he was playing again . 'He loves the sport and is a massive rugby fan . He is a KR fan and I am a Hull fan and we have a lot of banter between us about it. ’ Mr Lynes said : ‘ Connor did come out the coma last night and is breathing unaided . He 's opened his eyes and even managed a cheeky smile. ’ Treated : Connor was put in an induced coma and doctors removed 90 per cent of the clot . He was transferred to Leeds General Infirmary ( pictured ) on Sunday , where he underwent another operation yesterday . Education : Connor , a pupil at Winifred Holtby Academy ( above ) , is said to be 'very popular at school ' Meanwhile , speaking on behalf of Connor ’ s family , Steve Ball , general manager of the Rugby and Football League Benevolent Fund , said he had visited the youngster at Leeds General Infirmary . The boy is still ‘ very poorly ’ but in a stable condition while relatives keep a vigil around his hospital bed . Mr Ball said today : ‘ Thankfully he is conscious now and aware of his surroundings . He saw me and was able to give me a thumbs up . He may need to undergo a further surgery and we will find out in the next few days. ’ He said that Connor had been playing in a group match for Lambwath Lions against another East Yorkshire team from Beverley . Mr Ball added : ‘ It was a perfectly legitimate tackle and a freak accident really . He didn ’ t actually fall ill until the day after the match. ’ Meanwhile , a Hull Kingston Rovers spokesman said : ‘ Our thoughts are with young Connor Lynes , who is in intensive care following an injury playing the sport he loves yesterday . Get well soon Connor , from everyone at the club . '
