J. Knight is a 28-year-old full-back at Portsmouth, rated 42.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 369th of 493 in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (41.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.94 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Knight.
Judged on this season alone, Knight graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 69th of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship, on 2 clean sheets and 1.944 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 55th of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 28 Knight is in his prime years, and a market index of 32.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Knight missed 20 games through injury (back) out of roughly 46 this season. The 14 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
With a Rating of 42.6, Knight carries the 55th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship of 77 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~55), then tapers with age. At 28, Knight sits on 32.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Knight's projected Rating — 42.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
