Billy Steven Knott (born 28 November 1992) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for League One club Gillingham.
He joined Sunderland after being released from the Chelsea Academy in 2011. He played one game for the club, and spent periods on loan at AFC Wimbledon, Woking, Wycombe Wanderers, and Port Vale. He joined Bradford City in May 2014, and remained with the club for two seasons, before he joined Gillingham in June 2016. He joined Lincoln City on loan in January 2017, and helped the club to the 2016–17 National League title. He has represented England at under-16, under-17 and under-20 level.
Knott was signed by Sunderland after he was released by Premier League rivals Chelsea in the 2010–11 season. He had been dismissed from the Chelsea Academy and forced to sign a confidentiality agreement after a "smoke grenade incident".
Knott joined Terry Brown's League Two side AFC Wimbledon on loan on 11 January 2012, and made his debut in a 2–1 win against Port Vale three days later. He scored his first goal in professional football at Kingsmeadow in a 2–1 win over Macclesfield Town on 24 January. The 19-year-old received the "Dons" Young Player of the Year award, despite only playing half the 2011–12 season, having scored three goals in twenty appearances.
