Josh King is a real success story for the Fulham Academy, rising through the ranks from Under-9s, to make his debut for the First Team at the age of just 17.

Regularly playing above his age group, King excelled for Fulham Under-21s in the 2023/24 campaign, and signed his first professional contract in January 2024. It was a year in which he ended as the Club’s Scholar of the Year, with a couple of appearances on the First Team bench, too.

Having clearly impressed Marco Silva, King was given a first taste of senior action in our Carabao Cup win over Birmingham City in August 2024, before a Premier League bow followed when he stepped off the bench to help the Whites defeat Brighton at the Cottage in the December.

A stylish, ball-playing central midfielder, King has also regularly played at least an age group up for England, and is now an established member of their Under-19 setup.
