JAMES FORD has admitted that there is more pressure from outside the club on York City Knights this year. Since securing a third-placed finish in the Betfred Championship in 2019, York have had two off-seasons, following the cancellation of 2020, to add further quality to their squad. The Knights have signed Super League stars Adam Cuthbertson, Danny Kirmond, Ryan Atkins and Ben Jones-Bishop as well as established Championship talent, like winger Kieran Dixon. In total, head coach Ford has around 900 appearances in the top-flight among his squad. Given the eye-catching additions and the club’s well-publicised off-season bid for Super League, to which they pipped by Leigh Centurions, expectation now rests with York.
