Kalum King is a Gaelic football player from County Down. He played for the Down senior inter-county football team and with his local club, Bryansford.[1][2]

King first played for Down in 2004, when he played a role in Down's promotion run in the national league that year.[citation needed] He restarted his county career in 2010, and started every game in the 2010 league season.[citation needed] In the 2010 championship, the team progressed to the All-Ireland Final against Cork. He was appointed Down's vice-captain in 2012, and was captain for various games.[2] He reportedly left the Down squad ahead of the 2014 Ulster Championship.[2]

At club level, King was part of the Bryansford championship-winning side in 2003,[citation needed] and also part of the side that won the league title in 2014 after a match against Mayobridge in Kilcoo.[3]

Outside of Gaelic games, King was also involved in boxing.[4]
