Richard King, hailing from Jamaica and born on 27 November in 2001, now finds himself aged 24 and providing a robust defensive presence for St Mirren Football Club. This young footballer wears the number 5 jersey and primarily graces the pitch as a central defender. Standing at a sturdy 6ft 1in (1.87m) and weighing 12st 1lb (77kg), King is foreboding figure at the back for any opposing striker. He has donned his country's colours too, proudly representing Jamaica on the international stage.
According to the football database Transfermarkt, King currently boasts a market value of roughly £213k. By no means a lofty sum in the modern game, but a testament to his budding potential and developing career.
During the 2025 - 2026 season, King demonstrated his value to St Mirren with solid and consistent performances. In the Premiership, he featured in 24 matches, starting 18 and coming off the bench in 6 instances, managing to find the net on a single occasion. Notwithstanding his defensive occupation, it is always a moment of triumph when a defender can contribute on the offensive front.
His Cup exploits were equally noteworthy. In the League Cup of the same season, King started in 4 matches and had 3 substitute appearances, even scoring twice. He also featured for St Mirren in the Scottish Cup, starting twice. Simultaneously, on the international front, he had 7 starts and came on as a substitute once during the World Cup Qualifiers North & Central America 2024 - 2026. His Jamaican international journey continued in the Gold Cup 2025, starting in 3 matches. The flurry of matches, goals, and appearances, are indicative of a young and promising career in football.
