York Knights captain Liam Harris has signed a new two-year deal.

The 29-year-old half-back has committed his future to the club, continuing his long service with the Knights.

Harris commented: "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."

Since re-joining York in 2022 after a brief stint with Halifax Panthers, Harris has made 149 appearances over the past five seasons.

In 2025, he captained the Knights to victory at Wembley in the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup Final, kicking the winning drop goal in extra time against Featherstone Rovers and earning the Ray French Player of the Match award.

Although injuries limited his appearances in 2026, he still managed to score six tries in 12 games.

York 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."
