NEW York City Knights recruit Jonny Presley is pictured with youngsters from Lakeside Primary School in York during a special coaching session.

Scrum-half Presley recently won the Northern Rail-sponsored Northern Star award at the Co-operative Championships’ annual end-of-season dinner for his work in the community while with Keighley Cougars.

That experience and know-how is not going to waste following his switch to York.

In addition to taking up employment at the Linton-on-Ouse RAF base north of York, he is finding time to work with his new club’s community development team in and around the Minster city.
