Paul McShane, Jordan Thompson and Ben Jones-Bishop have all signed new deals with Super League newcomers York Knights.

Former Leeds winger Jones-Bishop scored 29 tries in 2025 and was the Championship's leading try-scorer, while ex-Castleford and England hooker McShane - Super League's Man of Steel in 2020 - was named Championship player of the year.

Thompson will spend a fifth season with the Knights, having been named the club's players' player of the year in 2025.

All three have significant previous experience in Super League and will appear in the top flight again next year after York were selected to join Super League by an independent panel.
