BORN: February 2001
CLUB: Bristol City
Remember When: He changed the game in Ireland’s 3-0 away win against Luxembourg
Bio: The man with three lungs is one of Ireland’s most useful squad options.
And is another one of the “Kenny’s Kids” crop who grows closer and closer to becoming an accomplished international footballer as the years go by.
Knight’s progress has been helped by winning thirty caps before his 23rd birthday and amassing over 200 club appearances for Derby County and Bristol City in the same period.

Bringing Jason Knight on for Adam Idah was an inspired sub by Stephen Kenny. An absolute game-changer 👏

He's already a manager's dream. If he adds goals and assists to his game in the Championship then he could really propel to the next level. #COYBIG pic.twitter.com/KW4FQToDMV

Jason Knight named as Ireland's Man of the Match.
— Ireland Radar (@IrelandRadar) June 8, 2022
He'd give you hope. As would Collins and Obafemi.
The senior players were very poor tonight.#COYBIG pic.twitter.com/z4l145QMp2
Jason Knight, Jayson Molumby and Josh Cullen is a really effective trio that we should consider as starters going forward. They've gotten through some amount of work so far.#COYBIG

To do so before your 21st birthday is remarkable.
Jason Knight made his 100th (and perhaps final) Derby appearance in yesterday's 2-0 victory over Sheffield United 👏
A player on the rise 🚀#COYBIG pic.twitter.com/58khiO12bF
