Biography:
A central midfielder, also capable of playing at right-back, Darren McKnight spent three seasons playing with Barnsley's youth sides, but never made it into the first team. During his time at Oakwell he was a regular for Northern Ireland at Under-17 and Under-19 level. It was shortly after transferring to Shrewsbury that he stepped-up to the Northern Ireland Under-21 side, making his debut in a 1-1 draw in Iceland.

McKnight was released by Shrewsbury in January 2016 without having made a firstteam appearance. Shortly thereafter he began training with Morecambe, and signed a short-term deal in March.
