York was born in Blyth, Northumberland. He began his career in local football in his native north-east of England before signing for Sunderland,[6] for whom he played just once in the First Division[7] before moving south to play for Coventry City in the Second Division and for Third Division clubs Northampton Town and Lincoln City.[6] Already well into his thirties when he signed for Lincoln, he found himself playing regular first-team football for the first time in his career – he missed only four matches in his first two seasons – and helped them reach runners-up spot in 1927–28. He made 114 appearances in all competitions for Lincoln[1] before finishing his career in non-league football with Newark Town and Scarborough. He died in 1977.[6]
