Could the historic city of York be home to a Super League team in the not-too-distant future? But in recent years, something has been stirring on the rugby league front in the Minster City and the 13-man code has been enjoying a resurgence which has led to the York City Knights having their sights on earning a Super League spot in the not-too-distant future. "As we're doing better, the more and more people are coming up telling me it's a rugby league city and they love it there. Reformed as the City Knights in 2003 when the original incarnation, York Wasps, went under the previous year, the club's future was threatened again in 2016. And while Ford acknowledges York still have work to do before they are fully ready to make the jump to Super League, he is excited about the way rugby league is growing in the city once more.
