The club's longest-serving player.
Stephen King has worn this jersey through more names and more seasons than anyone else in the room. He was a forward on the UL Eagles side that won the double in 2012, the Cup and the League in one season, and he is still here fourteen years later.
In his younger days he was a high scorer for the Eagles and a fantastic player at both ends of the floor. The points come less often now, but the know-how does not. He knows where to be and when, and after this many years in the National League very little rattles him.
He has watched the team climb, slip back and rebuild, and in 2025-26 he was still on the roster as the Eagles won the double again. When the younger lads want to know what a winning season actually feels like, they can just ask Steve. Two doubles, more than a decade apart, the same player on both.
He is not finished competing either. King is part of the Ireland Over-40s Masters team heading to the World Masters Championships in Athens this July.
2025-26 with the Eagles
The senior statesman of the double-winning squad. King's long service stretches from the 2012 double to the 2025-26 Cup and Division One titles, a 14-year thread through the club's story, now capped by promotion to the Super League.
