Zach Fishwick, 21, has signed a one-year deal with York Knights after being released by Hull KR.

Zach Fishwick has joined York Knights on a one-year deal after leaving Hull KR. The 21-year-old prop made nine appearances for the Robins, including two this season, and the club decided to release him at the end of the campaign.

Fishwick came through Hull KR's academy and made his Super League debut at the 2022 Magic Weekend. However, he struggled for regular opportunities and spent time on loan at several clubs including Featherstone Rovers, Bradford Bulls, Hunslet, Halifax Panthers and Batley Bulldogs. The Hull Daily Mail reports he suffered a knee injury in pre-season this year.

Fishwick said he was 'extremely grateful for this fresh start' and looking forward to working with York head coach Mark Applegarth. He expressed hope of 'establishing myself as a Super League player' and picking up regular minutes after his frustrating spell at Hull KR.
