Cambridge midfielder Knight extends deal to 2028

Cambridge United forward Ben Knight has signed a two-year contract extension to run until the end of the 2027-28 season.

Knight, 23, has scored six goals in 29 appearances this season - including three in the past four games - to help the U's into the League Two promotion race.

They are fifth in the table, just two points below the top three, despite their 14-match unbeaten run coming to an end at Harrogate on Saturday.

"We are in a strong position and it's a really exciting time - that's why I want to be here," said Knight, who joined Cambridge last summer after beginning his career in Manchester City's academy.

Boss Neil Harris added to the club website:, external "Over the last seven months, Ben has developed hugely, both on and off the pitch, and there's still so much more to come from him.

"He has a clear development pathway in front of him that I believe will see him continue to grow as a footballer, and his form over the last six to eight weeks has certainly coincided with our rise up the league table."

Cambridge are in action again on Tuesday evening with an away game at Crawley Town.
