The big name signing of 2025, McShane will bring plenty of experience on and off the field at York.

After making more than 200 appearances over 10 years for Castleford Tigers in Super League, the hooker has signed a two-year deal at the club, where he’ll also be part of the coaching staff as well being on the playing rosta.

During his time with the Tigers, he earned two England caps, and was named Man of Steel in 2020.

McShane was also an integral part of the squad that won the Super League League Leaders Shield in 2017, and reached that year’s Super League Grand Final.

While injury has limited the number of games in the past two seasons in Super League, McShane is an exciting addition to York for the coming season.
