The 2025–26 York City F.C. season is York City's 104th season in existence,[1] and the club's 4th season back in the National League after promotion from the National League North. The club is competing in the National League,[2] the FA Cup and the FA Trophy. On 28 August 2025, just 4 games into the new season, the club announced that Adam Hinshelwood would leave the club with immediate effect,[3] with former Notts County manager Stuart Maynard announced as his successor on the same day.[4]
Pre-season and friendlies
The club announced that 24 of the players contracted for the previous season would remain at the club, with 8 players leaving upon the expiration of their contract. 2 players who had been on loan at the club also returned to their parent clubs.[5]
The club signed their first player in pre season just nine days after their 0–3 Vanarama National League Play-Off Semi-Final defeat to Oldham,[6] recruiting experienced midfielder Ollie Banks on 30 May 2025.[7] This marked the start of a number of transfer dealings, with Dipo Akenyemi joining Derry City on a permanent deal,[8] and 5 players leaving on loan. Manager Adam Hinshelwood added further depth to the squad with the signings of Joe Grey from Hartlepool,[9] and Greg Olley from Gateshead.[10] York made several more signings before the end of the transfer window.
Long-serving player Paddy McLaughlin was granted a testimonial year "in recognition of his outstanding service to the club."[11]
York City confirmed six pre-season friendlies against Garforth Town, Salford City, Sheffield United, Barnsley, Marine, and Spennymoor Town.[12] The fixture against Salford City was, however, abandoned, due to allegations of racist abuse towards a Salford player.[13] Police originally arrested a 23 year-old man from York, but he was later released as "no evidence of a hate crime" was found.[14]
