Kieran Foran's disappointing first NRL season at Canterbury has ended early after he suffered a toe surgery.

Foran has missed the Bulldogs' past two games with a torn toe ligament in his left foot, before it was decided he would go under the knife to fix it.

The operation will leave Foran out of the game for six weeks, before he can begin rehabilitation and eventually his preparations for next season.

It's another bitter blow for both Canterbury and Foran, who missed most of his sole season with Parramatta with a shoulder injury in 2016, and also battled back problems at the Warriors last year when he was sidelined for a combined seven games.

The Bulldogs will take on the Knights at 7.30pm Saturday, while the Dragons face the Eels at 8pm Thursday.
