Leicester City centre-back Josh Knight has signed for Championship side Peterborough United for a ‘substantial fee.’
The 23-year-old from Fleckney, a former student at Robert Smyth Academy in Market Harborough, joined the Foxes at the age of eight and signed his first professional contract with the Club 10 years later.
He spent last season on loan with Wycombe, making 39 appearances, coring twice.
He was also named Player of the Season and Player’s Player of the Season at the end of the campaign.
Knight made his first team debut for Leicester in August 2017 in the Carabao Cup, helping City to a 4-1 win against Sheffield United, before joining Peterborough United on loan in February of the following campaign to help further his development.
Knight made eight appearances for the Posh in 2018/19 and spent a second spell on loan with them in 2019/20, featuring for the East of England side 26 times in all competitions, finding the net three times and helping them to a seventh-place finish in League 1.
Leicester City say Josh leaves with the best wishes of everyone at club.
