[edit] Career
Born in Ipswich, Knights was a product of the youth system at Ipswich Town[2] and played for England at youth and Under-17 level.[3] He made his debut for the club as a 16 year old in November 2004 but did not play for the first team again.[3] After impressing Yeovil Town manager Russell Slade in training, Knights joined the League One side on loan in February 2007 for the remainder of the 2006–07 season.[3] He made five substitute appearances for Yeovil, including one in the League One play-off final against Blackpool in May 2007, and joined the club on a one-year contract in July 2007 after being given a free transfer by Ipswich at the end of the season.[4] Knights was unable to establish himself in the first team at Yeovil and joined Cambridge United on loan in October 2007.[5] He returned to Yeovil in December 2007[6] and then joined Kidderminster Harriers on loan the following month for the rest of the 2007–08 season.[2] After a successful loan spell at Kidderminster in which he scored four goals, he joined the club on a permanent basis in the summer of 2008.[7]
In July 2010 Knights signed for Newport County.[8] He subsequently scored the equaliser in the Welsh derby match between Newport and Wrexham in September 2010.
