Cameron King (born 17 September 1991) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who last played as a hooker for the Featherstone Rovers in the Betfred Championship.

Playing career

2015
On 13 August 2015, King signed a 1-year contract with the Parramatta Eels starting in 2016.

2016
In February, King was a member of the Eels Auckland Nines squad that triumphed over the New Zealand Warriors 22–4 to win their maiden Auckland 9's title. The Parramatta Eels were later stripped of the Auckland Nines title and, due to salary cap restraints, King was forced to play outside the NRL squad for the remainder of the season with reserve grade team Wentworthville Magpies.

In November, it was announced by the Parramatta Eels that King was re-signed for a further year.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph in December, King thanked his friendship to former NRL player Kyle Stanley for his career and the help he was given during every injury set-back. "He was just so inspirational,’’ King said. "We have been best mates since we were 15 and I have never met a tougher man. What I was going through was nothing compared to what he had copped and he really put it into perspective.'’ "He will be on the field with me every game I ever play,’’ King said. "I have made a promise to write his name on my wrist every time I take the field.'’

2017
King was named at hooker to make his NRL debut for the Eels in their round 17 clash with Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. King re-signed with Parramatta until the end of the 2018 season.

2018
King started the 2018 season as first choice hooker ahead of Kaysa Pritchard. In Round 2 against Manly, King suffered a serious concussion and was stretchered from the field. King returned to the starting lineup for the following week against Cronulla but following a 14–4 defeat he was one of the players dropped to reserve grade by coach Brad Arthur. After spending 2 months in reserve grade, King was recalled back into The Parramatta side for their round 11 game against The New Zealand Warriors. King finished 2018 with 11 appearances for Parramatta as the club finished last on the table and claimed its 14th wooden spoon. On 13 September, King announced via his Instagram page that he would be leaving Parramatta after being released by the club.
