Cavalier’s Speid Hail’s ‘Consummate Professional’ King After St Mirren Move

Technical director of defending Jamaica Premier League outfit Cavalier Soccer Club, Rudolph Speid, describes former captain Richard King as the ‘consummate professional’.

The 23-year-old centre back conducted his first training session with his Scotland-based club Saint Mirren this week after guiding Cavalier to back-to-back titles in the local premier league.

King previously had a short stint with Iceland-based club IBV where he featured in 17 matches whilst netting goals on two occasions.

According to Speid, King’s composure on the ball made him a stood out among his peers during his time in the Jamaica Premier League and suggested that St Mirren has a similar playing style compared to Cavalier.

Cavalier is known for it’s high turnover of players and with the departure of King, Coach Speid believes that while a void is left in the defensive line, he’s already identified a few players who can step up to the plate.
