A former England under-17 international, King has a wealth of experience having made more than 200 appearances across his previous spells in the football league.

Having grown up in Gibraltar, he started his career with Millwall, playing 19 times for the Lions, while also enjoying stints on loan at Welling United, Braintree Town, Stevenage and AFC Wimbledon.

King made the move to Newport County in the summer of 2019, where he made almost 50 appearances during two seasons at Rodney Parade, earning plaudits in the September for keeping five clean sheets and going more than 500 minutes without conceding a goal.

He also entered the Guinness Book of Records in January 2021 for scoring the longest ever goal. From a distance of 96.01 metres, King launched the ball from his own penalty area towards the Cheltenham Town goal which looped over his opposite number – taking the record from Asmir Begovic, who netted a 91.9m effort for Stoke City against Southampton seven years previously.

During his time at Newport, he was called up to the Wales national team having qualified for the country as his mother was born in Cardiff. Working alongside Wolves’ current goalkeeping coach Tony Roberts, King was in the Wales squad for their Euro 2020 qualifying matches against Azerbaijan and Hungary, before another call-up followed for the international fixtures in September 2021.

King spent two seasons with Salford City and Northampton, stepping out between the sticks more than 70 times over that period ahead of joining Wolves before the start of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign.
