Regan King

Regan King

Regan Matthew King (born 2 October 1980 in Cambridge) is a New Zealand rugby union footballer. He also holds a British passport thanks to his British-born father, Paul King. Following consistent performances for both Waikato and the Chiefs, he made his first and only Test appearance on 23 November 2002 against Wales at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff. Following this, King suffered several injuries hindering the progress of his career in New Zealand and taking him out of the NPC and Super 12. Once fit and back on form, King was recruited by Stade Français in November 2004.

After an unsuccessful six months in France, he moved to Wales to play for the Llanelli Scarlets, where he is now contracted until 2011. Here he has seemed to find his form, and is now seen as one of the most influential players in the Magners League and Europe. He has made 87 appearances for the Scarlets scoring 140 points (28 Tries).

In 2006, he was voted the best outside centre in the world by readers of [http://www.planet-rugby.com/News/story_56074.shtml Planet-Rugby.com] for their 2006 World XV. This accolade was made all the more poignant by the fact that King was the only one of the players voted into the side that hadn't played any international rugby in the preceding 12 months.
