Michael returns to York Knights!
Irish international, Ronan Michael has returned to York Knights for a second spell, signing a one year deal, thanks to support from Squad Builder!
The prop made 71 appearances for York between 2022 and 2024, after first joining on loan from Huddersfield Giants before signing a permanent deal.
The 26 year-old then left the Knights in 2025 to move to Bradford Bulls. After being released last year from Odsal, he moved to Australia where he played for Northern Pride in the Hostplus Cup.
Michael was part of Ireland’s squad in the 2021 World Cup, and started for them in the group stage defeat by New Zealand.
A popular, hard running forward in his first stint at York, Michael said: "I'm buzzing to be back at the Knights. York is where I properly found my feet as a player, so coming back feels like unfinished business.
"I've had some great experiences since I left, and I'm coming back a better player for it. Mash knows exactly what I bring, and I'm grateful he's given me the opportunity to do it again under him.
"The club's on the up, and I want to be part of something special this season."
Head coach, Mark Applegarth added: “I'm delighted we have got Ronan back.
"We didn't want him to leave the first time we had him.
"He's a player with lots of potential and I'm looking forward to working with him again."
