A product of Aston Villa’s Academy, Knibbs joined Cambridge United at the start of the 2019-20 season and he scored a brace on his home debut at Abbey Stadium to earn his new side a 3-2 home win over Scunthorpe United.

Harvey ended his maiden campaign as top goalscorer at United, scoring a total of nine goals in 31 appearances for the League Two club.

Knibbs helped the U's achieve automatic promotion to League One the following year and he continued to impress in amber, scoring on the opening day of last season in a 1-0 home win over MK Dons.

He scored four more times in 2022-23, finding the back of the net against Wycombe, Charlton, Morecambe and promotion-winners Ipswich Town in 35 league starts for United.

Twin brother to a professional hurdler, Knibbs was out of contract at the end of the 2022-23 season and decided to embark on a new challenge as a Royal. 

He netted his first goal in Reading colours in August, hitting an equaliser in an eventual 2-1 defeat at Exeter City.
