[edit] Career

Knights was a product of the youth system at Ipswich Town[1] and played for England at youth and Under-17 level.[2] He made his debut for the club as a 16 year old in November 2004 but did not play for the first team again.[2] 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.[2] 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.[3] Knights was unable to establish himself in the first team at Yeovil and joined Cambridge United on loan in October 2007.[4] He returned to Yeovil in December 2007[5] and then joined Kidderminster Harriers on loan the following month for the rest of the 2007–08 season.[1] 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.[6]
