Career

King first played hurling to a high standard as a student at St Brendan's Community School in Birr. He was part of the school team that won the Leinster PPS SBHC title in 2020, however, the subsequent All-Ireland final against Cashel Community School was cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. [1] [2] King has also lined out for SETU Waterford in the Fitzgibbon Cup. [3]

After progressing through the juvenile and underage ranks with the Carrig & Riverstown club, King made his senior team debut in 2022. He won an Offaly IHC title the following year after beating Coolderry in the final. [4] King was named Offaly Intermediate Hurler of the Year following this success. [5]

King first appeared on the inter-county scene during an unsuccessful tenure with the Offaly minor hurling team. [6] He immediately progressed to the under-20 team and was at midfield when Offaly lost the 2023 All-Ireland under-20 final to Cork. [7] King was again eligible for the grade in 2024 and collected a winners' medal after beating Tipperary by 2–20 to 2–14 in the All-Ireland final. [8]

King made his senior team debut in defeat by Waterford during the 2024 National Hurling League. [9]
