2015–16 The Return to Mid Wales Football's Top Division.
Knighton's return to top flight football in The Mid Wales League was an extremely successful one narrowly missing out on back to back league titles on the final day of the season to Penrhyncoch, just missing out on a return to The Cymru Alliance league bu a single point. They also did exceptionally well in the FAW Cup reaching the 2nd round proper by defeating Kerry A.F.C. (H) 4–0, Welshpool Town (H) 2–1 in the qualifying rounds and Dyffryn Nant Vale (A) 2–1 in the 1st round before losing to Holywell Town (A) 6–3. In the FAW Trophy they defeated Machynlleth (A) 2–1 in the 2nd round before bowing out 3–2 away at Greenfield after extra time.
2014–15 Mid Wales League Division 2 League and Cup Double.
Knighton Town were promoted as champions of Mid Wales League Division 2 scoring a staggering 113 league goals, much owing to the striker Connor Bird who netted 30, midfielder Mark Jones who hit 26 and winger Adrian Jones who netted 22. Knighton also conceded only 18 league goals all season which was the best defensive record in Welsh senior football. Losing only 1 league game all season, Knighton Town racked up a record points total with a goal difference of +95. 
Knighton completed a league and cup double (E.R. Jenkins Cup) winning 4–3 after extra time against Borth United played at Penrhyncoch. Knighton took the lead mid way through the first half through a Sam Williams header. Borth turned the game on its head with Bryn McGilligan Oliver scoring twice in four minutes on 70' and 74'. As injury time reached the forth minute, Adam Worton equalised with a stunning 25 yard volley into the far top corner to send the Knighton fans into raptures. Extra time was only 2 minutes old when the league champions took the lead for a second time when Mark Jones raced onto a through ball and calmly clipped the ball over the keeper and into the bottom corner. Knighton quicky ended the game with substitute Marc Wozencraft putting them 4-2 up with a thumping header, from a Mark Jones cross. Borth did get a late consolation through Ryan Davies, but Knighton weren't to be denied the Mid Wales league cup double. 
The Robins also exceeded all expectations in the FAW Cup by reaching the 2nd proper, the only tier 4 side to do so.
 Knighton Town Reserves play in the Mid Wales South League (level 5 in the Welsh pyramid system).
1991–92 Mid Wales League Championship.
In 1991–92 Knighton won their first Mid Wales League Championship for 88:years. They lost one league game all season away at Aberystwyth Town. They clinched the title in dramatic style winning 3–2 away at Morda United in front of over 700 in attendance. Before the match Morda United were 2 points above Knighton so only a win would have seen them champions. In the last minute of the game with the score tied at 2–2, Knighton midfielder Sean Parker scored the winner in a goal mouth scramble.
