Matty English has joined York Knights on a permanent deal after initially signing on loan from Huddersfield Giants.
The 28-year-old forward, who spent 10 seasons with the Giants, will be with the club for the 2027 season after agreeing a permanent move to the LNER Community Stadium.
English said: "I'm really excited for the next couple of years with the Knights.

"It wasn't the start I could have hoped for but I am doing everything I can to make sure I come back stronger than before.
"Seeing how passionate the fans are and how together this group of lads are, is making me even more excited to get out on that field and push for silverware."
The former England Knight was unable to make his debut for York after sustaining an ACL injury ahead of a match against St Helens in August.
He began his career in Huddersfield's academy and made his first-team debut in 2017.
Knights head coach Mark Applegarth said: "I'm over the moon to get Matty over the line because he's a real quality player.
"It was very unfortunate for Matty that he got injured coming on loan.
"We signed Matty with a long-term vision and we think he'll be a big part of York moving forward.
"He's a quality person, a quality player and the sort of player that we want at York Knights to take us on this journey moving forward."
