Knights sign Mata'afa!

York Knights have added to their squad with the signing of Toa Mata’afa until the end of 2026, thanks to the support of Squad Builder!

The Samoan back can cover at full-back, winger or centre, and he joins York after two seasons playing in France, most recently with FC Lezignan after initially joining Baroudeur de Pia.

The 28 year-old previously played for North Sydney Bears in the New South Wales Cup.

York Knights head coach, Mark Applegarth said: "He's a player we've been monitoring for a month or two. He can fill in any of the positions in the back five.

"He's a real handful, a real unit. He's got some good skill on him, a really intelligent footballer.

"I'm sure he'll quickly become a fan favourite."

Mata’afa is available for Sunday’s Betfred Championship match against Hunslet at the LNER Community Stadium.
