- Jonathan Gjoshe was stabbed seven times in a knife attack on a train traveling through Cambridgeshire on 1 November, sustaining wounds to his bicep, shoulder and arm.
- Gjoshe pulled the alarm, prompting an emergency stop at Huntingdon where armed police arrived and paramedics later transported him to hospital.
- Gjoshe returned to full training in March after doctors said the knife missed a major nerve, and he is now seeking a new club, having declined interview requests from Scunthorpe United.
Why it matters: Scunthorpe United lose a recovered defender while Gjoshe gains bargaining power for a new contract, potentially reshaping the club’s squad depth and influencing the lower‑league transfer market for the upcoming season.
