The 27-year-old winger-turned-full back was initially thought to have an automatic extension option. However, it has been clarified that the clause only applied if Forest Green Rovers achieved promotion to League Two, which did not materialize. Knowles joined Forest Green as the first signing under Steve Cotterill in the summer of 2024.
