York Knights captain Liam Harris signs new two-year deal
York Knights captain Liam Harris has signed a new two-year contract to stay at the Super League club.
Super League is England's top-flight rugby league competition, the 13-a-side code that is built around carrying the ball, tackling and a constant battle for field position. Harris, who is 29, plays half-back. That is the playmaker who sits between the forwards and the backs and often decides where the attack goes next.
BBC Sport reported the news. Harris has played for Hull KR and Hull FC, and he joined York from Halifax Panthers in 2022. His first spell at York began with a loan deal in 2017, and he has now made 149 appearances for the club across two separate periods.
Harris was among the club's leading figures in 2026. He scored six tries in 12 Super League appearances this season, a return that reflects how much he contributes in attack and in the leadership role he has taken on as captain.
York RLFC marked the news on its website with a story headlined "Liam Harris agrees new Knights' deal!"
For York supporters, the deal means their captain will be in place for the next two seasons. Keeping a skipper and playmaker under contract gives a squad a settled core, and few things matter more to a club than knowing who will be running the team on the field.
