Jon Bennison has extended his stay at York Knights with a new contract.
The 23-year-old winger has signed a one-year extension to remain with the club until the end of the 2027 season, after originally joining from St Helens for 2026.
Mark Applegarth, head coach of York Knights, said: "I’m really delighted Jon’s been extended for another year.
"He’s still really young with relatively a lot of experience and the best compliment I can give Jon is he’s just really solid, a Mr Consistent.
"He’s very brave for his size and never takes a backward step and he’s got a very high level of understanding and a good IQ."
Bennison had to fight his way to get into the York side at the beginning of the 2026 season, having struggled early on with injury.
Once he was fit and firing in the team, Bennison scored 10 tries in 14 appearances last season, adding 24 goals.
He made his Knights debut in a 38-14 victory over Toulouse Olympique last April, but his standout performance came in a 22-14 defeat to Leigh Leopards, where the winger scored a hat-trick of tries.
