Reports emerged from Australia in September that Knight was seeking a return to the NRL to be closer to his now fiancee, Danika Mason, who works for the well-known Down Under TV network Channel 9. However, those reports were quickly knocked back.

And now Cartwright has revealed he was in direct conversation with the prop throughout the off-season period, with Knight expressing his motivation to hit the ground running with FC once again.
