A 20-year-old forward, Knibbs joined the U's from Aston Villa last summer. 

Born in Derbyshire, the former Nottingham Forest academy prospect has seven goals to his name so far, this season. 

Paul Mullin: 

Mullin scored his first goal for Cambridge in their midweek victory at Scunthorpe United - since signing on loan from Tranmere Rovers on the January transfer deadline day.

Kyle Knoyle:

Knoyle signed a two-year contract at the Abbey Stadium from Swindon Town - in June last year.

THE MANAGER

A central defender, the 30-year-old began his career at Northampton Town and has also turned out for Luton Town, Mansfield Town and Darlington.
