context_page_description: The 2013–14 season was the 92nd season of competitive association football and 77th season in the Football League played by York City Football Club, a professional football club based in York, North Yorkshire, England. Their 17th-place finish in 2012–13 meant it was their second consecutive season in League Two. The season ran from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014.
  Nigel Worthington, starting his first full season as York manager, made eight permanent summer signings. By the turn of the year York were only above the relegation zone on goal difference, before a 17-match unbeaten run saw the team finish in seventh-place in the 24-team 2013–14 League Two. This meant York qualified for the play-offs, and they were eliminated in the semi-final by Fleetwood Town. York were knocked out of the 2013–14 FA Cup, League Cup and Football League Trophy in their opening round matches.
  35 players made at least one appearance in nationally organised first-team competition, and there were 12 different goalscorers. Defender Ben Davies missed only five of the 52 competitive matches played over the season.
context_section_description: York began the season with a 1–0 home win over the previous season's play-off finalists, Northampton Town, with debutant Jarvis scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute. However, defeat came in York's match against Championship team Burnley in the first round of the League Cup, going down 4–0 at home. The team endured their first league defeat of the season in the following match after being beaten 2–0 away by Dagenham & Redbridge, the home team scoring in each half. York then held Hartlepool United to a 0–0 home draw, before being beaten 3–2 away by Bristol Rovers, in which Jarvis scored twice before John-Joe O'Toole scored the winning goal for the home team in the 67th minute. Two signings were made shortly before the transfer deadline; defender George Taft was signed on a one-month loan from Leicester City, while Middlesbrough midfielder Ryan Brobbel joined on a one-month loan. Midfielder John McReady, who had been told he had no future with the club, departed after signing for F.C. Halifax Town. Jarvis gave York the lead away to Exeter City before Alan Gow scored in each half to see the home team win 2–1.
