On 21 August 2014 Knudsen was farmed to affiliated club Prato in a temporary deal.[3] The club signed several players from Inter as part of the partnership agreement. On 13 August 2015 the loan deal was renewed.[4][5]

On 15 September 2017, Knudsen signed an amateur contract with Norwegian club Sarpsborg 08.[6] The club couldn't offer him a professional contract because they had to many foreign players in the squad, so Knudsen was incorporated in the reserve squad.

International career

Knudsen made his competitive debut for Denmark youth team on 12 October 2011, a 4–1 win against Italy U17. Denmark qualified from 2012 UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualifying round. However, Knudsen was dropped from the squad for the elite round. Knudsen was re-selected to 2014 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifying round. Knudsen was a substitute of Mikkel Wohlegemuth and Johannes Ritter Plum, respectively.
