Club career

Born in Houghton-le-Spring, Tyne and Wear,[1] Knight began his career with the Middlesbrough youth system at the age of 11 after he was spotted by a scout playing for his local team Hetton Juniors.[3][4] He played in both legs of the 2004 FA Youth Cup Final, which Middlesbrough won 4–0 on aggregate.[5] Knight signed a professional contract with Middlesbrough on 3 February 2005 and his first involvement with the first team came weeks later after being named on the substitutes' bench for a 2–2 draw with Charlton Athletic in the FA Premier League on 27 February.[1][6] Knight joined League Two team Darlington on an emergency one-month loan on 30 December 2005 to cover injuries to Sam Russell and Bertrand Bossu and he made his debut the following day in a 2–2 draw against Lincoln City.[1][7][8][9] After he picked up a hip injury during a 3–2 defeat to Notts County he finished the loan with three appearances.[10][11][12] He signed a new one-year contract with Middlesbrough in June 2006.[13] Knight signed for League One team Oldham Athletic on a one-month loan on 24 August.[14] His debut lasted only 39 minutes after he was "wrongly" sent off for handling the ball outside the box, with the game finishing a 0–0 draw with Carlisle United.[15][16] He made one more appearance for Oldham before suffering from swollen glands and a hip injury before finishing the loan with two appearances.[15][17]

He left Middlesbrough to join League One team Swansea City on a free transfer on 31 August 2007.[18] His first and only appearance of the 2007–08 season came in a 2–1 victory over Billericay Town in the FA Cup first round on 10 November.[19][20] He was released by the club after his contract expired on 30 June 2008 and he signed for Conference National team Mansfield Town on 13 October following a trial.[21][22][23] He left Mansfield on 3 November and returned to Middlesbrough to play in the reserves on a month-to-month contract.[3][24] Knight left the club for the second time in May 2009 after failing to earn a long-term contract.[25] He agreed on 2 July to re-sign for Darlington on a one-year contract once the League Two club had left administration.[26][27] His 2009–10 season started with a "flurry of errors" and his second debut for the club came in a 3–1 defeat at Aldershot Town on 8 August.[28][29] Knight left Darlington on 8 December when manager Steve Staunton released him from his contract by mutual consent, having played nine games for the club.[27]

Knight moved to Conference side Histon in February 2010 on a one-and-a-half-year contract following a two-week trial.[30] He made his debut in a 1–0 defeat to Rushden & Diamonds on 3 March and he finished the 2009–10 season with 12 appearances for Histon.[31][32] Despite being told he had a future with Histon,[33] Knight joined York City on a two-week trial in July with a view to signing on a season-long loan.[34] Illness resulted in him missing York's pre-season friendly with Hull City although he later played one half of York's 2–0 defeat to Barnsley,[35][36] with manager Martin Foyle saying he "did well".[37] After playing in the 1–0 friendly victory over Morecambe Foyle said he was interested in signing Knight.[38][39] He eventually signed for the club on 30 July.[40] His debut came in a 2–1 victory over Forest Green Rovers on 22 January 2011 as Michael Ingham was serving a one-match suspension.[41][42] This proved to be his only appearance for the club during the loan spell.[43] With another year remaining on his Histon contract, he was unsure of his future at the club after returning,[44] while player-manager David Livermore said he intended to transfer Knight from the club.[45] He was handed a free transfer by the club and allowed to talk to other clubs.[46]

International career

Knight was capped for England at under-15, under-16, under-17 and under-18 level.[47] He was part of the under-17 team that participated in the 2004 Algarve Tournament.[48] He was called into the under-19 squad in May 2006 as a replacement for Ben Alnwick.[49]

Style of play

Knight plays as a goalkeeper.[50] He said in 2010 that "shot-stopping is a strength of mine".[50]
