One of Craig Bellamy’s most reliable lieutenants, King has become a staple of the Storm forward pack since joining Melbourne in 2022.
The prop has found a new level of consistency in his game, missing less than a handful of matches across the last four seasons.
2025 saw King notch up his 100th game in purple while also inking a new deal which will see him remain at the Club until at least 2027.
