Captain Harris commits to the Knights

York Knights captain, Liam Harris has signed a new two year deal with the club.

It takes the 29 year-old into his sixth season, following his return to the club in 2022 after a short spell with Halifax.

With an initial loan spell from Hull KR in 2017 and then from Hull FC in 2019, Harris has made 149 appearances in a York shirt in the last five seasons.

In 2025, Harris cemented his place in club history, captaining the side to victory at Wembley in the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup Final. He kicked the winning drop goal in extra time against Featherstone Rovers and picked up the Ray French Player of the Match award.

Injury limited his appearances in 2026, but he scored six tries in 12 games.

Harris is thrilled to be staying at York.

“I still have a lot that I want to achieve here. With the new ownership, the club are building something special and I can’t wait to be a part of that.”

Knights head coach, Mark Applegarth added: “It was a difficult year for him last year, transitioning back into Super League and then picking up an injury.

“I’m delighted we’ve agreed a deal and Liam can show everyone what he can do.”
