A quick discussion with Mr Google tell me.......
Ian King was born on 23 December 1974
Ian currently works as the Regional Officer covering the Midlands for League Football Education. LFE administers and manages the Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence programme that is offered to apprentices joining professional clubs.
Ian comes from Rugby and was on Aston Villa’s books as a youngster before moving to Stoke City that led to a loan spell with his local club V.S. Rugby. New Stoke City manager Lou Macari released Ian soon after his arrival in September 1994 and Ian signed for VS Rugby. Although he had short term offers from League clubs Ian chose to sign for the emerging Rushden and Diamonds in November 1994. His last season was 1996/97 when the club was in the Conference. He joined Nuneaton Borough in June 1997 and later in the season signed for Telford United. He moved on to Aylesbury United (1998/99), Stevenage Borough (1999/00), Nuneaton Borough (2000/01) and Cambridge City (2001/02). Other clubs include Kettering Town, Brackley Town, Chesham United and Banbury United (possibly others) before finishing his career at semi-professional level in Australia for Sydney-based APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC. The club is known by the initials APIA that stand for “Associazione Poli-sportiva Italo Australiana” as the club was founded by the Italian community. Whilst in Australia Ian gained an honours degree in physical and health education and began teaching in a school in Sydney. It was here Ian joined Sydney FC as a youth coach.
On returning to the UK he became Head of Education at Birmingham City in 2012 before taking up his current job.
Welcome Ian.

Brilliant detective skills, auldreekie! To my understanding, he left his role at Birmingham at the end of the 14/15 season, and went on to be coach at Leamington last season, so should hopefully have some knowledge of the type of player we'd need at this level - Leamington finished their season 5th in the Southern League.
