MARK APPLEGARTH has named one change to his York Knights preliminary squad for Sunday's clash with Batley Bulldogs.

York will welcome play-off chasing Batley to the LNER Community Stadium on Sunday (3pm), with the hopes of backing up last weekend's 20-12 victory over Toulouse Olympique.

Applegarth has named one change to his Knights squad, with Taylor Pemberton, who has been featuring in dual registration at Newcastle Thunder, being replaced by Australian prop Jack Martin.

James Cunningham and Will Dagger retain their places, despite struggling with injuries in recent weeks, having been deemed fit for action.

YORK KNIGHTS: 25. Antrobus, 12. Bailey, 2. Brown, 21. Cunningham, 1. Dagger, 19. Daley, 11. Field, 10. Fitzsimmons, 38. Gannon, 22. Hingano, 9. Jubb, 41. Law, 42. Martin, 17. Michael, 30. Reynolds, 16. Santi, 15. Teaby, 13. Thompson, 5. Towse, 14. Williams
