It's not on the official site, but of course they can't (and shouldn't) announce anything until all the paperwork etc is final, the rest of the internet doesn't have this problem with requiring things to be, like, definitely true.
Excellent news. With squad sizes , do we have to loan or sell anyone now that we signed the two guys from Leicester. Interesting GA infers there could be more.
Knight isn’t an addition. Not sure with Admiral - there is an age limit where they don’t count (hence why we can have a B team) but I think it’s 21, not 23. So think we’d need to let one go on loan?
That's what I found Booker, but wasn't 100% sure I was looking at the right thing. So, assuming Phillips loan is renewed (seems likely with Knight staying), we don't need to let anyone else go for now.

We now have 27 players less Phillips on loan, thus one other player will need to go out on loan or be removed from the squad.
My guess is Parker or Yates will go out on loan or if we don't get a loan sorted then one of them will be removed from the squad for the rest of the season.

Have I missed the announcement, I thought we were getting Josh till the end of the season?

Looks like Knight confirmed?
Great news
I'm hopeful @Wanderers82 won't feel disappointed ...

Doesn't say if Knight is available for the playoffs. Fingers crossed.
Pleased he's staying and looking forward to watching him progress as a player
Thought I saw Knight & Muskwe at Asda yesterday afternoon. Glad that's been confirmed.
For info the official regulations are here (43.9)
Basically max of 25 excluding under 21s (excluding under 21 loanees)

We have 25 by my calculations. Yates would be no use going out on loan as he's only 21.
He was over 21 at the start of this season, therefore counts towards the 25. He's 22 in 5 weeks
Surely you can send Yates out on loan with a 24 hour recall provision?
We've got four 'keepers, we can afford to send one of them out on loan.
From Page three. I thank yew. (admittedly it was a a 50/50 chance of being right!)
