Regan Matthew King (born 2 October 1980 in Cambridge) is a New Zealand rugby union footballer. He also holds a British passport thanks to his British-born father, Paul King.
After playing for Waikato and the Chiefs, he made his first and only Test appearance on 23 November 2002 against Wales at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Following this, King suffered several injuries hindering the progress of his career in New Zealand and taking him out of the NPC and Super 12. After recovering, King was recruited by Stade Français in November 2004.
After an unsuccessful six months in France, he moved to Wales to play for the Llanelli Scarlets, where he played until 2011. He has made 141 appearances for the Scarlets scoring 185 points (37 Tries).
In 2006, he was voted the best outside centre in the world by readers of Planet-Rugby.com for their 2006 World XV. King was the only one of the players voted into the side that had not played any international rugby in the preceding 12 months.
In January 2011 King agreed to join Clermont Auvergne at the end of the season.[1]
