One-year deal sees Will Jubb into 8th season at York Knights
Will Jubb will see his 8th year at the York Knights with a fresh one-year deal.
Hooker Will Jubb joined York from Hull KR part-way through the 2017 season, seeing the Knights to Championship promotion in 2018 and a 3rd place finish in the second tier the following season.
Jubb has also been vital in the Knights past two Play-Offs campaigns.
Wracking up 150 appearances for the club — the 4th man to do so — the 27-year-old looks to continue the partnership into York’s 2024 Championship run.
Speaking on his new deal, Jubb said: “I’m absolutely to sign a new deal with the Club. It’s no secret how much this Club means to me and I want to be part of the story here for as long as I can.
“It’s really humbling to be up there with some of the legends of the Club in terms of appearances.
“I’m really thankful to the Club for making those moments, like my 100th and 150th appearance, really special. Hopefully I can get a bit higher up that leaderboard of appearances next year, but we’ll just take it one game at a time!
“I just love playing for this Club, so long may that continue.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be here next year and to be able to play in front of the fans at the LNER Community Stadium in 2024.”
His Head Coach, Andrew Henderson, added: “I’m delighted to be able to retain Will for another season here at York. I’ve been really by Will since coming to the Club and how he has conducted himself as the ultimate professional.
“Will is consistent in so many areas of his game, with wonderful service from dummy-half, a tireless and industrious defence and willingness to compete. Whenever Will Jubb takes to the field for York Knights, we know that he won’t let us down.
“He is a great person to have at the Club too, having been here for a number of years and now the fifth-highest appearance-maker in the summer era.
“I’m looking forward to working more with Will to further improve areas of his game in 2024.”
