Knight, who played his club rugby with the Pirates, represented Transvaal in provincial fixtures.[1] He was a member of the South African side which toured the British Isles, France and Ireland in 1912/13. A forward, he appeared in all five Test matches, making his debut against Scotland and then playing Ireland, Wales, England and France.[2]
He also played a first-class cricket match, for a "Rest of South Africa" team, against Wanderers in 1908. He scored five in his first innings and 15 in the second.[3]
