Rushden & Diamonds have signed twenty five year old striker Leon Knight following his release by Wycombe Wanderers.

Knight began his career at Chelsea and, after an impressive loan spell at Huddersfield Town, then made six-figure moves to Brighton and Hove Albion in 2003 and then Swansea City at the start of 2006, where he averaged better than one goal every two games.

The striker then spent a year at Milton Keynes before moving to Wycombe for the latter part of last season.

He will be available for selection for Rushden & Diamonds Bank Holiday Monday game when they host Histon FC, and has been allocated squad number 7.

Manager Garry Hill commented that he was impressed with Knight's goal scoring ratio, and feels he will do well in this division and will be a valuable addition to his squad.

We would like to extend a very warm Diamonds welcome for Leon to Nene Park.
