Former Boro FA Youth Cup winner signs for Mansfield
By Shaun • Oct 13th, 2008 • Category: Boro NewsFormer Boro academy goalkeeper David Knight has been picked up by Blue Square Premier side Mansfield Town following his release from Swansea.
David Knight was the starting goalkeeper in both legs of the triumphant 2004 FA Youth Cup final and had represented England at Under-15 up to Under-18 levels. Following the youth cup victory he was handed a professional contract by Boro and was loaned out to lower league clubs including Darlington and Oldham.
In August 2007 Knight was released from Middlesbrough and picked up by Swansea City, following his release from Swansea he has secured a contract at Mansfield.
Good luck to David Knight from Boro Mania.
