York City Knights coach James Ratcliffe says he will be forced into changes for the clash with Rochdale on Sunday in Championship 1.

He told BBC Radio York: "Some changes are enforced and some of them just a change for positional reasons.

"We're going to be pretty light again up front but it gives somebody else an opportunity to impress."

New loan signing Jack Lee, who joined the Knights from Featherstone Rovers this week, will be in contention.

Ratcliffe said: "He's quite versatile. He can play 13, 7, 9 or 6 so he's going to come into the frame somewhere.

"We've still got a couple of injuries that we picked up the week before.

"We've got to check on Alex Benson and see if we can get him back in the frame.

"But we were pretty light up front last week and they did a really good job [against Crusaders in the Challenge Cup] against a really good side and if asked they'll have to do the same again this week."
