York Knights have signed prop forward, Zach Fishwick on a one year deal, thanks to support from Squad Builder!

The 21-year old came through the Academy at Hull KR, and he earned a four year deal with them at the age of 17.

He made his Super League debut against Hull FC at Magic Weekend in 2022, and he’s since notched up nine appearances in the top flight. The Hull born forward featured twice for the Robins last season in the defeats to Wigan and St.Helens.

Fishwick also spent time on loan at Halifax and Batley early in 2026 as he recovered from a knee injury picked up in pre-season.

On joining the club, Fishwick said: "I’m extremely grateful for this fresh start and proud to be joining York Knights.

"After a few frustrating years, I’m excited for the opportunity to work with Mark.

"It’s a new chapter for me. I’m very much looking forward to working hard with everyone, kicking on from here, establishing myself as a Super League player and doing the club proud on the field."

Head coach, Mark Applegarth is delighted to bring Fishwick to York.

“At 21 he’s still got plenty of learning to do and his best years in front of him,” he said.

“He’s a player I first tried signing when he was 14-years old in my old role at my old club and he’s someone I’ve kept an eye on.

“He’s had a taste of Super League early so he knows what he’s about.

“Until we get our youth system up and running and get our own talent on a yearly basis, we’ll be looking at other club’s prospects that don’t fit into their plans and nurturing them under our umbrella.

“I’m really excited to be working with Zach and excited to see what he can do.”
