York City Knights’ star Chris Thorman received the accolade Northern Rail Cup Player of the Round after his match-winning performance against Leigh Centurions.

The 29-year old former England international produced a fine display which included a drop-goal three minutes from time to secure victory for the Co-operative Championship One side. 

Chris Thorman said: “Receiving the Player of the Round award shows that the team has played well and puts us in a good position for the start of the season.

“We have showed our progression from pre-season to the game against Leigh where defensively we were very good.”

“Leigh have notable former Super League players in their ranks and a Coach in Ian Millward who has a big reputation in both NRL and Super League so it was a positive start for us.

Thorman’s creativity proved decisive in a first half which saw York race into a 12-2 lead but Leigh came out in the second half a different side with two scores levelling the game at 12-12.

However, it was Thorman who stole the show with a 20-metre field goal which crept over the posts in the dying minutes.
