The goalkeeper made his debut in 2013 when he arrived from England, where he had been playing for Liversedge, West Yorkshire.
It will be another milestone for Tech, who secured the Southern League title last Saturday with a 3-0 victory over Ferrymead Bays, with striker Garbhan Coughlan scoring two goals, bringing up his 200th in 138 games – a club record.
The win meant Tech qualified for the National League by virtue of finishing in the top two.
Tech captain Tom Schwarz, who has played alongside Knight since he started, hailed his influence on the side.
“He’s been not just a hell of a goalkeeper, but a great servant for the club,” he said.
“He does a lot of coaching, volunteering, he’s a great bloke to have around – and a good goalkeeper as well.”
“It’s always nice when you win the league and it’s a home game and you’re surrounded by your family, friends, your supporters as well.”
Second place is still up for grabs, but Coastal Spirit are in pole position ahead of Christchurch United.
Coastal's 2-0 win over relegated FC Twenty 11 on Wednesday gave them a two-point gap to United, who drew 1-1 away at Nelson Suburbs on Sunday.
It means a Coastal win over Universities this Sunday will confirm second spot, or if United fail to beat Tech, Coastal only need to draw.
“(We’re) just making sure we’ve got the right mindset to go into these games, and get what we need to out of them.
“We’re not getting too ahead of ourselves, but we’re pretty confident, and we’d rather be in our position than in United’s at this stage.”
United need to beat Tech on Sunday and hope Coastal drop points against Universities to have any chance of making the top two.
“Never say never,” said captain Joel Stevens.
“Something could happen to Coastal, you never know, but at the same time, they’re a good team and if they keep playing the way that they’re playing, I’m sure that they’ll do well and it’ll be hard for us to get back in.”
Sunday’s final round of matches sees bottom teams FC Twenty 11 and Selwyn United meet, with FC hoping to end what has so far been a winless campaign on a high.
Ferrymead Bays host Nomads, and Nelson Suburbs make the long away trip to play Dunedin City Royals.
