Rob Northfield had this to say about joining the club
“After much deliberation, I am thoroughly looking forward to the challenge of raising the profile, standards, and on-field results at Knaresborough Town FC. I truly believe in the adage, 'we stand on the shoulders of giants'. Without the enduring dedication and hard work of everyone associated with the club—both past and present over its proud 80-year history—our efforts to build upon this great foundation would not be possible.”
