Leon King, born on 14 January 2004 (age 22), is a Scottish central defender with Ayr United. His career is still in its building phase, though he already has senior honours behind him, including one Premiership title, one Scottish Cup and one League Cup from earlier spells.
At Ayr, his role has become more defined. The 2025-26 league season was his most productive so far, with two goals in 28 appearances, useful enough output from a centre-half whose main job is rather less glamorous.
Kingโs career to this point is that of a developing Scottish defender who has moved from early success elsewhere into regular football at Ayr United. There is enough there to suggest a player still shaping his level rather than one with a settled story.
