Jonathan Lance King (born 22 April 1993) is a South African former footballer who played as a midfielder.[1]
Club career
[edit]King, along with compatriot Reyaad Pieterse, was chosen along with six other young footballers for the Nike Academy's The Chance; a scouting project to find the best unsigned talent from around the world, with the hope of finding them a professional club to sign for.[2] Prior to this experience, he had played for Sydenham Barnsley in Durban.[3]
On his return to South Africa, King had a short spell with Blackburn Rovers (SA), before moving to Black Leopards in November 2014.[4] After two seasons with the Leopards, in which he featured sparingly, he moved to fellow National First Division side Santos (SA).[5]
