King was appointed manager at Park View Road a year ago.

His managerial career started at Lewes where he helped them climb from the Isthmian South to the Conference National. He then had a short spell at Northwich Victoria before signing a two-year contract at Farnborough.

His first season there saw them promoted as Southern League champions before they finished runners-up in the Conference South, only to lose the play-off decider to Ebbsfleet United. He then returned for a second spell at Lewes before taking the helm at Macclesfield Town.

After taking them to the Fourth Round of the FA Cup his contract was terminated and he then had two spells at Whitehawk. His second stint started with the Hawks having claimed just two points from their first 11 games, which proved too much to retrieve.

Chairman Mark Goldberg told https://www.wellingunited.com: “On behalf of the Board, our staff, players and all Wings fans I would like to place on record our thanks to Steve on a fantastic season which saw us win the London Senior Cup for the first time in 29 years and the team just 90 minutes away from achieving promotion to the National League. Steve leaves with the best wishes of all of us at Welling United and he will always be warmly welcomed at Park View Road.”

King said: “I am incredibly proud of what we and players achieved last season but now is the right time for myself and the club to take a different path. I’ve had a great time at the football club and we very nearly pulled off the unthinkable. I wish the club every success in the future especially the fans who were fantastic with me from day one”.
