DONE DEAL: Stockport announce surprise Man City deal for Knight

Stockport County have announced the loan signing of Manchester City striker Ben Knight.

The 21 year-old's loan has now been made public by the Hatters.

Knight, 21, joined City from Ipswich for a significant fee and has made one senior appearance.

Stockport director of football Simon Wilson explained: "Ben initially came to train with us in the summer, but unfortunately had a set-back very early in the training period which meant we couldn't get a full look at him.

"All parties agreed to re-look at things on his return and so, after he had worked very hard with City to rehabilitate, in January Ben came back in to train with us again."
