In January, Swansea renewed their interest in King and a further bid was accepted by the club.[13] In all he made three appearances for Hearts.[14] He has featured at both under-18[15] and under-19 levels for Scotland.[16] King was nominated by STV Sport as one of 14 young players in Scottish football to watch in 2014.[2]
