The 27-year-old has spent the past two seasons in Gloucestershire, scoring 14 goals in 97 appearances. He has previously had spells at Walsall and Yeovil Town, having begun his career at Cambridge United. "Knowles is a player we originally tried to purchase from a previous club years ago, but he decided to go to an EFL club at the time, so we've always monitored his situation," Barnet manager Dean Brennan told the club website. "He's a player I've always admired from afar and he was one of our number one targets this summer and we've managed to get him to the football club, so it's very positive news. "He's a dynamic player, extremely professional and a fit lad. "He's also got good dribbling skills, pace and is a good finisher, so he ticks a lot of boxes for us and I already know he's a low maintenance player and a lot about his personality. "There's no doubt he'll come in and make a big impact and the big challenge for him now is - I think he can score more goals. We've done this with several players in the past; I've managed to coach them to score more goals."
