York take former Super League forward on trial

York have taken on former Hull KR prop Harry Bardle on a pre-season trial deal.

The 19-year-old was one of several players released by Rovers as part of Tony Smith’s major overhaul of the squad.

After progressing through the City of Hull Academy, Bardle made his Super League debut in last season’s round seven loss to Huddersfield.

He will now line up for York during their pre-season campaign against Featherstone, Halifax and Bradford, with the view of earning a permanent deal.

“Harry is a promising young front rower who has already had a taste of Super League,” City Knights head coach James Ford told the club website. “We have given him an opportunity to impress whilst both parties have a closer look to ensure they have the best chance of making the correct decision.

“I’m looking forward to seeing him stake his claim for a contract.”
