[edit] Career
As manager of Lewes, he took them from the Isthmian League Division Three to the Conference National in seven years.[1] However after new owners took over his contract was not renewed.[2] He was appointed as manager of Conference team Northwich Victoria on 4 November.[3] He resigned as manager on 21 February 2009, with the team second bottom of the Conference, citing problems off the pitch.[4]
His next move was to Farnborough, where he signed a two year contract in May 2009.[5] In his first season, 2009–10, Farnborough were Southern League Premier Division Champions.[6] In the 2010–11 season (despite a player embargo), Farnborough finished second in the Conference South only to lose 4–2 to Ebbsfleet United in the Play-off Final.[7] He left the club at the end of the season, before returning to Lewes.[8]
King was suspended by Lewes[9] pending an internal investigation on 11 January 2012. On 18 January, Lewes announced that King had left his position by "mutual consent".[10]
