Stuart Horton took over the coaching reins from Roger Millward in January 1995. Ryedale-York conceived a 'Super League plan' with Gateshead Council in 1995 with the intention intention of moving to Gateshead. The club's last game as Ryedale-York took place in April, an away game against Carlisle that was played in Gateshead. The relocation never came to pass and owing to a change in local council boundaries, Huntingdon, was now a civil parish in the newly formed unitary authority of the City of York. The newly renamed "York Wasps" playing at the "Huntingdon stadium" were confirmed as being in the Second Division which was now the third tier of rugby league, on 30 April.
