The young goal kicking outside back has signed a two year deal with York Knights.
Farrar began his time in rugby league at community club, Hull Wyke, where he was picked up by Hull KR’s scholarship programme in 2021 before moving into their Academy set up.
He’s also an Irish international, and scored in their recent win over Scotland.
Coach, Mark Applegarth said: “He’s a great young prospect.
"He’ll add some competition to those spots at full back with Will Dagger and he can also play wing.
"We're really looking forward to working with James. He’s a really enthusiastic kid that’s got his best years in front of him. He's got high ambition and he seems a very coachable young kid.
"He’s a player we’re all excited to be working with.
Farrar is the third new signing for 2025, following Kieran Buchanan and Paul McShane to the club for 2025.
