Cambridge United forward Ben Knight, nephew of former England cricketer Nick Knight, has been named the Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month for January. Knight, 23, recorded five goals and seven goal involvements during a standout month. His impressive form was crucial as Cambridge United secured a perfect record of 15 points from five league matches, propelling them into second place in the division.
Knight joined Manchester City in 2018, progressing through their youth ranks. He made his sole senior appearance for City in the 2021 Community Shield. During his tenure, City manager Pep Guardiola reportedly showed interest in Knight's golf handicap. The striker, who recently committed his future to Cambridge United with a new long-term contract, now focuses on achieving promotion with the U's.
