Delight for Robbo as Reggae Boyz star is tipped to shine for Buddies
Paisley Daily Express
|June 25, 2025
St Mirren new boy Richard King has been backed to succeed in Scotland with his key attributes outlined.
The Buddies have snapped up the highly-rated Jamaican international on a two-year deal from Cavalier FC of the island's Premier League.
King was a player that manager Stephen Robinson had been trying to get during the January transfer window — and he resumed his interest this summer as he sought a replacement for Richard Taylor who joined Sky Bet League One side Bolton Wanderers.
The 23-year-old defender is currently on international duty with the Reggae Boyz in the Concacaf Gold Cup which is taking place in the United States.
And King has been tipped to play a vital part in Robbo's team — with the centre-back able to defend aggressively and play with the ball at his feet, too.
Speaking with Express Sport, Daniel Blake of the Jamaica Observer has given the lowdown on what the black-and-white army can expect from Jamaica's rising star.
