Forest Green Hub
Forest Green's player of the season Tom Knowles has left the club to join Barnet. The transfer occurred after a legacy administrative error regarding Knowles' contract extension.
What happened?
Knowles scored 13 goals and provided seven assists last season, earning him the fans' player of the year award.
He played his last game for Forest Green, and the team wishes him the best for the future.
Why it matters for Forest Green
The loss of Knowles is significant, especially considering Forest Green's recent form: 2W-0D-3L in their last five games, with their last result being a 1-0 loss to Boreham Wood on 2026-04-29.
Their current league standing is 7th in the National League, with 81 points from 46 games, and a goal difference of +30.

What comes next?
Forest Green will need to adjust to the loss of Knowles, and former fan favourite Christian Doidge has joined Newport County.
The team's focus will be on their upcoming games and finding a replacement for Knowles' contributions.
As of 27 Jun 2026, Forest Green is 27 points behind leaders York, and their recent form will be a concern for the team.
