Leon King, born 14 January 2004 (age 22), is a Scottish central defender with Ayr United. His profile is still that of a developing player, though not an inexperienced one.
Before his spell at Ayr, King had already been around a senior environment that brought him a Premiership title, a Scottish Cup and a League Cup. Those honours give his CV a bit of weight, even if his longer-term career is still being shaped by regular football rather than medals gathered early.
His most productive league season came in 2025-26 at Ayr United, where he scored two goals in 28 appearances. That campaign gave him a steadier run of games and a clearer place in senior football.
King’s career to this point is straightforward enough: a young Scottish centre-half with early honours behind him, now building his record at Ayr United.
