Biography
Born in Lismore, King started his NRL career at the Gold Coast Chargers, recruited from the Marist Brothers Rams.[2] He played as a full-back for the Gold Coast and made 49 first-grade appearances from 1995 to 1998, missing the 1996 season when he went to England to play for the Keighley Cougars.[3]
King competed for Manly-Warringah in 1999, then had two seasons at the Northern Eagles following Manly's merger. In the 2001 season he began playing as a centre.
In 2002 he joined South Sydney for the club's first season back in the NRL.[4] He featured in 20 first-grade games for the Rabbitohs.
King was retained by South Sydney in 2003 and finished his professional career in England, with the London Broncos in the Super League.[5]
