Born in Camberwell, grew up in Warlingham, King is predominantly a right arm off break bowler who bats right-handed.[1] He made his debut for Surrey's second XI in 2005, taking 17 wickets in his first season, and took a further 30 the following year.[2][3] May 2006 saw King invited to a trial for the England under-19 side, but he did not make an official appearance for the side.[1]

King made his first-team debuts in Twenty20 and first-class cricket in 2009, appearing in matches against Kent, Middlesex and Derbyshire.[1] His first wicket was that of Middlesex's David Nash.[4]

He was released by Surrey at the end of the 2011 season.
