Career & Clubs
Millwall
King signed a one-year contract with Millwall in August 2014, having left the Crystal Palace youth team earlier in the season. He joined National League club Welling United on an initial one-month youth loan on 24 July 2015. He went on to make 20 appearances for the "Wings", before he was recalled by Millwall on 21 December. King returned to the National League on 19 February 2016, joining Braintree Town for an initial 28-day emergency loan. In his second appearance for the club, against Guiseley at Nethermoor Park, King became involved in a controversial incident during an 1–1 draw. He conceded the equalising goal after Oliver Norburn broke a fair play protocol and lobbed him from 30-yards out rather than passing the ball to him, after Braintree had kicked the ball into touch to allow an injured Braintree player to receive treatment; a five-minute fracas followed but the goal was allowed to stand after security staff separated the players and management, and Guiseley manager Mark Bower refused to allow Braintree to walk through and score.

King was capped by England at under-16 and under-17 level. He also qualified for Wales as his mother was born in Cardiff as well as being eligible for Gibraltar through residency, having spent several years there as a child, where he first started playing football in the youth ranks at Manchester United (Gibraltar). On 7 November 2019, King was called up to the Wales national football team for the first time for the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying matches against Azerbaijan and Hungary. In August 2021, following the withdrawal of Adam Davies due to a positive COVID-19 test, King was called up in the squad for the September international fixtures—a friendly against Finland and 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Belarus and Estonia. On 6 June 2024, King finally made his international debut for Wales in a friendly match against Gibraltar, coming on as a substitute for Adam Davies in a 0–0 draw.
