York City Knights have an injury worry over full-back Danny Ratcliffe (hamstring) for Friday's crucial National Two game at Doncaster.

Player-coach Paul March told BBC Radio York that Radcliffe will get as long as possible to prove his fitness.

"Danny is my main concern. We'll give him until kick-off on Friday night but if he doesn't come through we'll bring players in such as Mark Wilson.

"But I'm pretty confident that he will be alright."

There had also been doubts over Dave Buckley and Tom Haberecht, who both picked up injuries at Hunslet, and March has also been struggling with a hamstring problem. However he expected to be fit in time for the game.

"I didn't train Tuesday night but hopefully I'll be alright. And Dave Buckley is fine now after his shoulder injury and so is Tom Haberecht."

Meanwhile the Knights have signed another three players for 2009 - Adam Endersby, Stephen Grundy and Jonny Waldron have all agreed new terms.
