George King earned a scholarship with the club ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
He previously featured in the Under-15 side which finished runners-up against Sunderland in the U15 National Floodlit Cup final in 2021/22.
King scored his first goal for the Under-18s against Liverpool in early September 2023. He added a second to his tally in a 3-3 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion at the end of the month.
The young centre-back notched his third of 23/24 with a dramatic 94th minute winner against Fulham U18s, sending the side through to the U18 Premier League Cup quarterfinals at the expense of the cottagers.
In December 2023, King scored a brace - including an 80th minute header - to help the young Eagles to a 2-1 win against Plymouth Argyle in the third round of the FA Youth Cup.
