York Knights have signed up one of their most promising forwards to a long-term deal, with Oli Field extending his stay at the club until the end of 2029.<\/p>\n

Field, who was already contracted to the club until 2027, made 28 appearances for Mark Applegarth\u2019s side and performed incredibly well in his maiden Super League season.<\/p>\n

Scoring six tries, the back-rower who can also play centre began his career at the Leeds Rhinos, coming through their pathways system.<\/p>\n

Failing to make a first-team appearance, Field arrived at York on loan in 2023, and he has been at the club ever since, signing a permanent deal part-way through that season.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old has made over 100 appearances for the club, and will continue to be a key part of Applegarth\u2019s roster as the club head into only their second top-flight season of the summer era.<\/p>\n

Boss Applegarth added:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m delighted with that. Oli has done really well in Super League. He\u2019s relatively young and I think he\u2019s got his best rugby in front of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe became a real staple of our team this year as well as last, and now he\u2019s filling out that frame of his, and he\u2019s showing everyone what he can do. I think he\u2019s going to be really good.\u201d<\/p>\n
