Jason King (born 21 March 1981) is an Australian retired professional rugby league footballer of the 2000s and 2010s. A New South Wales State of Origin representative front row forward, King played his club football in Sydney for the Northern Eagles and Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, with whom he won the 2008 NRL Premiership. He also represented City Origin.
Born on 21 March 1981 in the Sydney suburb of Manly, Jason King became a Manly-Warringah junior rugby league player.
King made his National Rugby League debut from the bench for the Northern Eagles in a 42-14 loss to the Brisbane Broncos at the NorthPower Stadium in Gosford on 1 September in Round 26 of the 2001 NRL season. In 2002, King became a permanent figure in the Northern Eagles team, playing 22 games for the season and scoring two tries. He scored his first try in the top grade in a 36-12 win over the Canberra Raiders in Round 6 in Gosford.
From the 2003 NRL season, the Northern Eagles were no more and the Manly-Warringah club was back in the premiership (the Northern Eagles had been the result of an uneasy merger between Manly and their local rivals the North Sydney Bears). By this time King had cemented his place in the side and would remain with Manly for the remainder of his career.
