South Sydney Rabbitohs have made the decision to release Liam Knight from his contract in order for him to join the Canterbury Bulldogs, as reported by Forever Sports Online. The 28-year-old forward, who has only played five games for the Rabbitohs this season, will be heading to the Bulldogs to provide much-needed reinforcements in their forward pack.
Knight’s playing time has been limited this season, mainly due to recovering from a long-term injury. However, despite his limited appearances, Knight has managed to make an impact on the field. He has averaged an impressive 80 running metres per game and boasts a tackling efficiency of 92 percent.
Having joined the Rabbitohs in 2019, Knight has previously played for Manly and Canberra, accumulating a total of 66 appearances for Souths. His experience and depth in the game have caught the attention of Canterbury’s General Manager of Football, Phil Gould, who expressed his excitement for Knight’s arrival. Gould sees Knight as a valuable addition to the team, particularly with injuries and players leaving the club.
The Bulldogs have secured Knight’s services until at least the end of the 2024 season, adding more stability to their forward pack. With his signing, Canterbury aims to strengthen their chances of success moving forward.
This transfer provides Knight with a new opportunity to showcase his skills and contribute to the Bulldogs’ progress in the NRL. Fans will be eagerly anticipating his impact on the team and how he adapts to his new surroundings.
Forever Sports Online will continue to provide updates on Knight’s performance with the Canterbury Bulldogs throughout the season.
