York Knights have added back-rower, Matty Foster to their playing roster for 2026, thanks to the support of Squad Builder!
The 24-year old joins from Oldham, where he finished last season after leaving Salford Red Devils.
He joined Salford for 2024 after coming through the system at St.Helens, and he scored two tries in 19 appearances before leaving to join the Roughyeds.
He featured twice for Oldham in the Championship, as they secured a fourth place finish in the table.
Knights' head coach, Mark Applegarth believes he'll be a good addition to the forwards.
"He's a really solid player. He can cover a number of positions to a high standard.
"What's struck me about him is how much he wants to get in, work hard and improve.
"I'm sure he'll prove to be a valuable addition to the York squad."
Foster said: "After meeting with Clint and seeing what his vision is for the club and the direction he’s planning, I wanted to be a part of that.
"I look forward to earning the respect of the coaches, team mates and the fans too."
