King was most recently in charge of National League South outfit Dartford, who he guided to finish in the play-offs three seasons in a row, narrowly losing on penalties to Chippenham Town in last season’s play-off eliminator.

 

He joined the Darts back in October 2019 and took the team from the bottom three to the play-off final in his first season in charge.

 

That campaign’s play-off final ultimately ended in defeat though, losing to Weymouth on penalties in the final but a second-place finish in 2020/21 followed for Steven and Dartford.

 

King has overseen plenty of championships and promotions at a number of clubs in non-League football, with significant league and cup success.

 

Prior to Dartford, City’s new manager reached the National League South play-off finals with Lewes, Welling United, Farnborough and Whitehawk.

 

He also had a spell at Macclesfield Town, where he made history by taking the club to the Fourth Round of the FA Cup for the first time and enjoyed a successful league campaign, with the Silkmen spending the majority of the season either top of the division or in the play-off positions.

 

The club where King began his managerial career is where he’s probably enjoyed the most success though, guiding Lewes from Isthmian League Division One South to the National League in the space of five years - a period which included three league titles and two separate top five finishes, with Lewes unable to play in the play-offs due to ground grading issues on the other two occasions.

 

He is one of the most successful managers in National League South history, finishing first, second, third, fourth and fifth and reaching the play-off finals four times.
