Knowles signs for Gainsborough

Last updated : 07 September 2012 By Tony Scholes

Knowles came through the youth system at Burnley and spent two years as a professional after signing his first deal in the summer of 2010. He didn't make a first team appearance but was on the bench for our last game of the 2010/11 season, a home draw against Cardiff.

He had trials at both Stevenage and York during the pre-season and things looked more than hopeful that he'd get a deal at York.

Unfortunately he was unsuccessful despite manager Gary Mills having been impressed, but he's finally landed himself a contract with Gainsborough.

He could make his debut tomorrow when they face a home game against unbeaten Worcester City.

Meanwhile, Dave Lynch, a former team mate of Knowles at Burnley is now playing for Burscough who are in the Evo-Stik First Division North where he is a team mate of Antony Glover who was on trial with Burnley at the beginning of last season.
