York City Knights are anticipating Sunday's friendly with Castleford Tigers after they confirmed Dwain Chambers will make his debut.

Knights reserve grade coach, Paul Higgins said its a great opportunity for his young players.

"All the attention will be on Dwain Chambers but we are taking the game seriously," he said.

"We hope for a big crowd and this game will be an opportunity for players to force their way into the first team."

The Knights have named a strong squad for the match. Danny Ekis returns from suspension and he will be joined by fellow first team player, Mark Applegarth. Either Joe Stearman or Dale Ferris will be up against Chambers on the wing.

First team coach, Paul March told BBC Radio York it will be a good experience for their reserves.

"Its going to be a big stage for them. Normally they play in front of a few hundred people on a Thursday night.
