St Mirren secure signing of highly-rated Jamaica defender Richard King

King has signed a two-year deal at the SMiSA Stadium. St Mirren have announced the signing of highly-rated centre-back Richard King after beating a host of clubs to his signature. The Jamaican international joins the Paisley side on a two-year deal from Jamaican Premier League side Cavalier FC, with an option to extend for a further year. ‌ King captained Cavalier to the league title and also led his side against an Inter Miami line-up featuring Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the Champions Cup. ‌ Having represented the Reggae Boyz on a major stage and acquired 30 caps thus far, King has been tracked by clubs across the UK and Europe. The 23-year-old is St Mirren's third signing of the 2025-26 campaign, following the permanent acquisitions of Killian Phillips and Roland Idowu from Crystal Palace and Shrewsbury Town, respectively. And manager Stephen Robinson is excited to have King on his side, admitting he had previously attempted to lure him to Renfrewshire. He said: 'Richard King is a player I tried to sign in January along with Martin [Foyle, head of recruitment]. We had tracked him for a long time and kept up with his progress. 'He has progressed really well under Steve McClaren [Jamaica head coach] and the Jamaican national team. He's quick, he's strong and he's a project for us as well as it's a step up in level. 'I had a really good conversation with Richard and the Cavalier owner and we were are aligned in our thinking in terms of giving Richard a good platform. We think Richard will add real competition to the boys we've already got and give us another option in that department.' ‌ King has yet to step foot in Scotland as he has been representing Jamaica in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The first tie saw the Reggae Boyz lose 1-0 to Guatemala. Ahead of their opening match, McClaren congratulated King on his move to the Scottish Premiership. He said: 'Richard King is developing. Congratulations on his move to St Mirren in Scotland, which will help develop his game as well. That's going to benefit Jamaica in the future.'
