Kingsley tasted success throughout his career, with pre-season Premierships in 2001 and 2002 including a Michael Tuck Medal for a best on ground performance, and was a member of the Power’s historic 2004 Premiership side. Forced to retire at the end of 2006 due to injury, Kingsley transitioned into the coaches box as an Assistant Coach working under Mark Williams, guiding Port to a Grand Final appearance in 2007. He remained at Port Adelaide until the end of 2010, before returning to Melbourne to be an Assistant Coach at St. Kilda.
