Career

College and Amateur

Knighton played four years of college soccer at UNC-Wilmington as well as for Indiana Invaders in the USL Premier Development League.

Professional

Undrafted by Major League Soccer, he attended a New England Revolution tryout in early 2007 and was good enough to be invited on trial for the preseason. He impressed during the trial in Bermuda, winning a spot as the Revolution's third-choice keeper and a developmental contract with the club.[1] The signing made him the first soccer player from UNC-Wilmington to be on a MLS roster.

After spending his first year and a half with the Revs behind Matt Reis and Doug Warren, he was loaned to the Portland Timbers on 2 July 2008 for the remainder of the 2008 Major League Soccer season.[2] The move was aimed at getting Knighton some valuable playing time as he had seen no first team action while with New England.

He is currently starting for the New England Revolution, and is considered to be performing well with 90.5 percent save rate.
