EX-York City Knights star Craig Forsyth has completed his epic 3,000 mile solo rowing challenge across the Atlantic Ocean.

Forsyth took 73 days to make the incredible journey from the Canary Islands to Antigua.

In the process, he has raised over £11,000 in the process for two charities - the Motor Neurone Disease Assocation and Sporting Chance.

Forsyth, 50, said: "As soon as we find a cure for Motor Neurone Disease, the world will be an even better place and I thank you for all those donations so far and in advance for any donations you can make."

Carsten Heron Olsen, CEO of Atlantic Campaigns, the organisers of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, said: "Every year we are amazed by the grit and determination shown by teams that take on the TWAC and this year is no different.

"Craig has shown incredible strength and endurance. On behalf of Atlantic Campaigns and Talisker we toast your outstanding achievement."
