Michael Gash joined York City from Ebbsfleet United for a £55,000 fee.

Colin Walker was dismissed as manager of York City early into the 2008–09 season,[2] and his successor was former Port Vale manager Martin Foyle.[3] The team finished the season in 17th-place in the Conference Premier table,[4] and were defeated 2–0 by Stevenage Borough in the 2009 FA Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium.[5] Mark Greaves, Steven Hogg, Daniel McBreen, Shaun Pejic, Josh Radcliffe, Mark Robinson, Simon Rusk, Liam Shepherd and Christian Smith and Ben Wilkinson were released by York after the season ended.[6][7][8][9] Adam Boyes, Craig Farrell, Darren Kelly and Onome Sodje left for Scunthorpe United, Rushden & Diamonds, Portadown and Barnsley respectively.[10][11][12][13]

Richard Brodie, Andy McWilliams, Josh Mimms and Ben Purkiss signed new contracts with York.[6][7][14] 11 players joined before the season kicked off; defenders James Meredith from Shrewsbury Town,[15] Alan O'Hare from Mansfield Town[16] and Djoumin Sangaré from Salisbury City,[17] midfielders Neil Barrett from Ebbsfleet United,[18] Andy Ferrell from Kidderminster Harriers,[14] Alex Lawless from Forest Green Rovers,[19] Levi Mackin from Wrexham,[15] winger Craig Nelthorpe from Oxford United,[14] and strikers Michael Gash from Ebbsfleet,[20] Richard Pacquette from Maidenhead United[15] and Michael Rankine from Rushden.[11] Striker Michael Emmerson was promoted from the youth team after he signed a professional contract with the club.[21] Daniel Parslow was named as captain for the season, having taken over the role during 2008–09.[22]

York retained the previous season's home kit, which comprised red and navy blue halved shirts with red collars, navy blue shorts and navy blue socks with two white strips on the cuffs.[23] A new away kit was introduced, and it included light blue shirts with white horizontal stripes, light blue shorts and light blue socks.[24] There was a change in shirt sponsor, with the name of Pryers Solicitors becoming present on the team kits.[23]

Review

August

York's season started with a 2–1 away defeat by Oxford, in which Brodie gave York the lead before Oxford scored two late goals.[31] This was followed by a 0–0 home draw with Rushden,[32] in which Rankine had a goal ruled out, as the referee had awarded a foul against Rushden.[33] York's first win of the season came with a 2–0 home victory over Forest Green,[34] and the goals were scored by Rankine and Adam Smith.[35] Emmerson joined Northern League Division One club Billingham Town on a one-month loan.[36] A second defeat of the season came after Gareth Taylor scored for Wrexham in a 1–0 away defeat.[34][37] Pacquette scored the equalising goal for York in a 1–1 away draw with Hayes & Yeading United after being introduced as a substitute.[38] The team's first away victory came with a 2–1 win against Gateshead,[34] with goals from Brodie and Gash.[24] Goals from Brodie (2) and Smith ensured a second successive victory of the season, after beating Histon 3–1.[34][39]
