Recruited from Woodville-West Torrens with pick 46 in the 2013 National Draft, Riley Knight developed a reputation as a high-work-rate utility who combined elite aerobic endurance with strong defensive intent. Often deployed as a pressure forward or run-with midfielder, he played his best football in 2017, cementing a spot in Adelaide's line-up during the club's run to the Grand Final. Despite his distinct running power, recurring injuries and inconsistent form prevented him from securing a permanent midfield position in subsequent seasons. Caught in the sweep of Adelaide's aggressive list rebuild under Matthew Nicks, Knight was delisted at the conclusion of the 2020 season.
