Cameron Mark King (born 10 September 1995) is a footballer who last played as a midfielder for King's Lynn. Born in England, King represents Scotland internationally.

Club career

[edit]

King joined Norwich City's youth system at the age of eight.[3] King made his senior début for Norwich City on 23 September 2014 in the League Cup in a 1–0 away loss to Shrewsbury Town.[2][4]

In 2016 King and Norwich mutually agreed to end his contract early, in order for him to receive medical care for persistent migraines.[5][6] After seeing a specialist, King returned to football with Thetford Town, where he scored 16 goals in 45 appearances in all competitions.[7][8] King joined League of Ireland Premier Division side Shamrock Rovers on 14 August 2017.[9]

On 24 August 2020, King re-signed for National League side Kings Lynn.[10] King was released by the club following relegation at the end of the 2021–22 season.[11]

He rejoined former club Thetford Town in June 2022,[12] before extending his contract in May 2023 despite interest from teams in higher divisions.[13]

International career

[edit]

King has represented Scotland at youth level.[2][3] He scored a goal in his first appearance for the Scotland under-21s, a late equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Switzerland under-21s.[14]
