Aaron King has joined the MSU Denver coaching staff for the 2018 season after a distinguished professional and amateur career.
King, who led Smoky Hill High School to the 2001 Colorado Class 5A state championship, went on to a standout career at North Carolina State, where he was a three-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference first-team selection and earned second-team All-American honors as a senior in 2005.
Entering the 2018 season, King still ranks in a fourth-place tie on the Wolfpacks all-time goals list with 44, and is seventh in career points with 103. He led NC State in goals all four seasons there, including 15 goals as a senior, which ranks 11th on the schools single-season chart. His 2002 totals of eight assists and 22 points are tied for sixth and tied for eighth, respectively, among NC State freshmen. The Wolfpack showed solid improvement during Kings years on campus, capped by an 11-7-1 overall record and 4-3-1 ACC mark in his senior season of 2005 records that are the programs best over the past 20 years.
In 2006, the Virginia Beach Mariners selected King with the 15th pick in the USL First Division College Draft, and the Los Angeles Galaxy picked King in the fourth round (48th overall) in the MLS SuperDraft. King began his professional career by signing with the Galaxy, who later sent King to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for a first-round pick in the 2007 MLS Supplemental Draft. King played in 10 games with the Rapids reserve team, scoring two goals.
He spent two seasons with the USLs Charleston Battery, scoring 21 goals in 51 games, and his playing career also included stops with the Carolina RailHawks, Wilmington Hammerheads and Miami FC (2009), FC Tampa Bay (2010-11), Phoenix FC (2013), FC Haka of Finlands first division (2013) and another stint with the RailHawks (2014).
King capped his playing career with the USLs Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC, scoring 14 goals in 68 games from 2015 through 2017.
King, who began his high school playing career at South High, has also served as a private coach in the greater Denver area.
