King first played for Down in 2004, when he played a role in Down's promotion run in the national league that year.[citation needed] He restarted his county career in 2010, and started every game in the 2010 league season.[citation needed] In the 2010 championship, the team progressed to the All-Ireland Final against Cork. He was appointed Down's vice-captain in 2012, and was captain for various games.[2] He reportedly left the Down squad ahead of the 2014 Ulster Championship.[2]
