EX-LEEDS Rhinos winger Ben Jones-Bishop has signed for York City Knights as the Championship club continue their impressive recruitment drive for 2021.

The Jamaica international, 32, was a Grand Final winner with hometown Rhinos after emerging from their academy and, more recently, scored 64 tries in 116 games with Super League rivals Wakefield Trinity.

However, having successfully battled back from a blood clot in his lungs for the second time in his career last year, he turned down a new contract at Belle Vue at the end of the season to explore his options.
