Warrington Wolves forward Paul Vaughan will move to Championship side York Knights for the 2026 season.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 34-year-old Australian moved to Warrington in 2023 and played in their Challenge Cup final defeats in both 2024 and 2025.<\/p>\n

“Joining the Knights represents a new challenge in a different way for me,” Vaughan said.<\/p>\n

“I bring a wealth of leadership to the club and I’m looking forward to linking up with the group, connecting with the fans, and being part of what’s building at York.”<\/p>\n

Before moving to England, Vaughan played for Canberra Raiders, St George Illawarra and Canterbury Bulldogs in Australia’s National Rugby League (NRL).<\/p>\n

“He’s still one of the best props in Super League,” said York head coach Mark Applegarth.<\/p>\n

“It’s a real statement signing made by the club. As a coach, I’m looking forward to getting a real genuine leader of the pack.”<\/p>\n

York are top of the Championship table and have never played in Super League.<\/p>\n

But the traditional system of promotion and relegation was scrapped two years ago,<\/a> with a grading method now in place to determine the make-up of the top flight.<\/p>\n

The gradings are reviewed every year and in 2024, York chair Clint Goodchild said they were hopeful of gradually improving their 15th-placed rating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warrington Wolves forward Paul Vaughan will move to Championship side York Knights for the 2026 season.
