In his first two years with the North London club, King supported Partnerships, Business Development, Retail, Marketing, Premium Sales, Ticketing and Community. He then moved over to join the Football Operations side of the club, where he worked on all footballing matters at London Colney and Hale End for four years.

In 2020, King was made Senior Legal Counsel and subsequently headed the Football Operations legal unit, working with the Men’s First Team, Men’s Academy, Women’s First Team and Women’s Academy. He was also a club representative on The FA’s Legal & Governance group for Women’s football.

In his new role, he will focus on legal and contractual issues and replaces Richard Garlick, who was promoted to Arsenal Managing Director at the end of last season.
