Richard King, born on the 27th of November, 2001, currently at the age of 23, first drew breath in the sunny climes of Jamaica. The lad has made a name for himself as a defensive bulwark, a central defender to be precise, currently plying his trade with St Mirren. One would find the lad an imposing figure on the pitch, what with his height of 6ft 1in (1.87m) and athletic build of 12st 1lb (77kg). King holds the distinction of donning the number 5 jersey for his club side. His talents weren't limited to the Scottish Premiership, as he has also represented his native Jamaica on the international stage.
By the fiscal reckoning of Transfermarkt, King's current market value hovers around the £209k mark. His contract with St Mirren is inclusive till the end of June 2027, precisely a year shy of two years from the present day.
Reflecting on the recently concluded 2025-2026 season, King took to the field in one Premiership match, earning a place in the starting eleven. The season also witnessed him demonstrating his versatility across various tournaments. He was involved in the League Cup campaign for St Mirren, even proving his goal-scoring prowess with a solitary strike across two starts and one substitute appearance. Internationally, he contributed to Jamaica's efforts in the World Cup Qualifiers North & Central America 2024 - 2026 with one starting and substitute appearance each, the Gold Cup 2025 with three starts, and made one substitute appearance in the Copa America 2024.
