YORK Knights have confirmed that Australian winger Scott Galeano has signed a new deal that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2029 season.

Galeano joins Jon Bennison, Toa Mata'afa and Tom Inman in penning new contracts with the Knights, whose place in the Betfred Super League for 2027 was confirmed on Thursday.

The 28-year-old said on the news: "I'm really happy to secure my future with York.

"I've enjoyed my time here, and I'm excited about what's ahead."

Already contracted through 2027, the extension adds two more years to his stay.

He scored 21 tries in 23 appearances during his debut season and followed up with 12 tries in 25 games the following year.

Galeano has found the line in big moments, including York’s first-ever Super League match.

He also scored a hat-trick in the April win over Toulouse Olympique.

Head coach Mark Applegarth added: "I think this is a massive statement from the club.

"He can play centre and wing to a very good standard, and he’s got great athletic abilities.

"I think he’s still got his best rugby in front of him and over the next three years I think we’ll see him flourish."

Galeano joined the Knights from Sunshine Coast Falcons, where he played three seasons in the Queensland Rugby League Hostplus Cup.
