YORK Wasps are unlikely to name a new coach within the next fortnight after deciding to advertise the post.

Chief executive Ann Garvey said they already had eight serious contenders but wanted to see who else was in the market.

York had been hoping to appoint somebody this week but it is now likely to be nearer three weeks.

Garvey added player recruitment for next season would begin this week when she speaks to some of the existing players about retaining them.
