Goole Vikings have been approved by the RFL Board to join Betfred League One in the 2025 season.
Their application was judged the strongest of three received during a process that has been running through the summer, with the Board also praising Anglian Vipers and Bedford Tigers who were unsuccessful on this occasion.
The Vikings were founded as a community club in 2018 and have been playing in the Yorkshire Men’s League, with junior teams playing in the City of Hull and District Competition.
Rugby League Council members were informed of the decision at their September meeting today at the Salford Community Stadium.
A separate decision will be made at December’s Council meeting about whether Goole should be admitted to membership of the Rugby Football League.
