Jamie Knight-Lebel, born on 24 December 2004 (age 21), is a Canadian central defender with Motherwell, where he wears the number 4 shirt.

His early senior league football came at Bristol City in 2023-24, when he made two appearances. That was a brief foothold rather than a settled spell, and his senior career has taken clearer shape since his move into the Motherwell first team.

In 2026-27, Knight-Lebel has made six league appearances for Motherwell, along with one in the League Cup and four in Conference League qualifying. Across all competitions for the club, he has played 11 times.

For now, his career is a developing one centred on Motherwell: a young Canadian defender building senior minutes in Scotland, with his first proper run coming at Fir Park.
