Biography:

Beginning his career as a miner in Newcastle, Josh King played 78 games for Knights before signing a two-year contract with Storm ahead of the 2022 season.

In the 2022 pre-season, King went on to take out the ‘iron bar' award for outstanding effort in the notoriously difficult ‘I Don’t Quit’ camp. This impressive effort earnt him a Storm debut in Round 1 of the 2022 season, becoming player 219.

King’s efforts in 2022 did not go unnoticed with the forward named in the 2022 Australian Men’s Prime Minister’s XIII squad.

King’s impressive efforts continued in 2023, making the most appearances of any player for the season alongside Trent Loiero and registering the second most tackles in the club and the most decoy runs of any player in the NRL.

Standing strong in the forward pack, the lock ended the season with three tries, 17 tackle-breaks, 2,784 run metres and averaging 10 hit-ups each game. 

The Singleton Greyhounds junior celebrated his 50th game in the purple jersey in the preliminary finals before taking home the Club’s 2023 Forward of the Year award.

Josh is sponsored by Di Roberts and Graham & Kay Middleton.
