Career

West Ham United

Knoyle was first included in a West Ham matchday squad for their UEFA Europa League first qualifying round second leg fixture away to Lusitanos of Andorra on 9 July 2015, remaining an unused substitute in a 1–0 victory (4–0 aggregate).[2] With manager Slaven Bilić putting priority on the team's Premier League performance, he made an array of changes for their third qualifying round second leg away to FC Astra Giurgiu on 6 August, including giving Knoyle his debut as a starter.[3]

Dundee United (loan)

On 22 January 2016, Knoyle signed on loan for Dundee United until the end of the 2015–16 season.[4] He made his Tangerines debut on 27 February as an 82nd-minute substitute for Blair Spittal in a 3–0 win at Ross County in the Scottish Premiership.[5] His full debut came on 2 April in a 1–0 win at St Johnstone.[6]

Wigan Athletic (loan)

On 1 July 2016, Knoyle joined Championship side Wigan Athletic on a season-long loan.[7] In a pre-season training camp in Portugal, Knoyle suffered a dislocated and broken elbow in an accident, an injury which was expected to keep him out of the side for a lengthy period.[8]
