Homegrown linebacker Kadel King signs with the London Warriors

The London Warriors have announced their next homegrown player, signing British linebacker Kadel King. King brings a wealth of experience and a trophy-winning resume to the Warriors as they prepare for their inaugural AFLE season.

A true journeyman of European football

King has built his career across some of the most competitive football leagues in Europe, lining up in the German Football League, the Maple League, the Polish football league and for the Mallorca Voltors in the Spanish football league. That kind of varied experience across different countries and systems has shaped him into a versatile and adaptable linebacker who knows how to perform in a variety of environments.

A three-time champion

What makes King’s profile even more impressive is his winning pedigree. Over the course of his career he has claimed three championship titles, winning in the German Football League, the Maple League and the European League of Football. A player who has won at multiple levels of European football brings exactly the kind of mentality that a first-year franchise needs in its locker room.

With King on board, the London Warriors have set the tone for their homegrown roster with a experienced, well-travelled and championship-proven player as their second ever signing in that category.
