Knight is new at Rovers

Great Wakering Rovers gave a debut to striker David Knight in their narrow- and very late- defeat to Tilbury on Tuesday evening.

David started this season at Brentwood Town, but made only five appearances. He then moved on to the Dockers, where he scored four times in seventeen appearances- the last appearance coming as recently as January 10th.

David spent last season with Grays Athletic, and was- as usual- rather prolific, scoring fifteen times.

He made five appearances for Aveley after signing in October 2020 shortly before the season came to a premature end, and he also spent a short time with Cheshunt during that almost non-existent campaign. During the 2019-20 season he was rather more prolific, scoring nineteen goals in only twenty one games across all competitions for Tilbury.

Even that wasn't as prolific as he was for Bowers and Pitsea in 2018-19, when he got an incredible forty three goals in all competitions. This total included hat tricks against Felixstowe and Walton United, Basildon United and Dereham Town, and four-goal hauls against both Barking and Takeley- the latter in the FA Cup.

He also previously played for Hornchurch, Wingate and Finchley, Metropolitan Police, Thurrock and Eastbourne Borough.
