York City Knights were today continuing negotiations with three players as they look to boost their squad.

The Evening Press revealed on Saturday that talks had been held with a centre and back-rower and chief executive Steve Ferres today confirmed Keighley loose-forward Lee Patterson was one of those players.

He also confirmed an approach had been made for Hull KR three-quarter Craig Farrell, who scored for the Robins in the Arriva Trains Cup match at Huntington Stadium last term.

Ferres hoped to have decisions from the trio in the next few days.
