Last updated : 24 October 2008 By Kevin Markey
The former England U-19 international was released by Gary McAllister in April following a trial period at Cheltenham Town.

Rothery featured for City's reserves in their 4-3 midweek defeat at Hartlepool United.

He had recently been at Chesterfield, whose assistant manager, former Leeds midfielder Scott Sellars, recommended him to York City boss Colin Walker.

The deal was completed in time for Rothery to be available for this weekend's FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round tie with Mansfield Town at KitKat Crescent.
