Joshua King is set to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Khaleej FC following the expiration of his contract with Toulouse. The experienced attacker becomes the latest European-based player to make the move to the Saudi Pro League during the current transfer window.
King has featured for several notable clubs over the course of his career, having initially come through the ranks at Manchester United. He was signed as a scholar from Vålerenga in 2008, but despite his early promise, he never made a Premier League appearance for the senior side. Instead, he spent time on loan at various clubs before eventually moving on to build a solid career elsewhere.
A Career Spanning Top Clubs and Continents
------------------------------------------
The Norwegian international went on to play for several Premier League clubs, including AFC Bournemouth, where he made over 175 appearances, further establishing his reputation as a reliable forward. Though his time in England came to an end, he remained active at a high level, most recently turning out for Toulouse in Ligue 1. At 33, King continues to maintain excellent physical condition, having featured in 28 league matches last season, demonstrating both fitness and consistency.
His move to Al-Khaleej marks a new chapter in his career and reflects the growing appeal of the Saudi Pro League, which has attracted numerous players from European leagues in recent months. As cited by [TV2](https://www.tv2.no/sport/fotball/joshua-king-til-saudi-arabia/17916325/), King has signed a two-year contract with Al-Khaleej, adding further experience and quality to the club’s attacking options.
Opportunity for Impact in the Saudi Pro League
----------------------------------------------
Al-Khaleej have been in search of a high-quality import to strengthen their squad, and King fits the profile of a player capable of making an immediate impact. Although he dealt with injury setbacks earlier in his career, recent seasons have seen him remain consistently fit and available, which has no doubt contributed to his latest opportunity.
The forward will be eager to deliver strong performances for his new club and play a leading role on the pitch. With his wealth of experience and renewed fitness, King has the potential to be a key figure at Al-Khaleej and to contribute meaningfully to their ambitions in the league.
