Career
Walsall signed George from their youth team in June 2012.[2] He made his professional debut in a 0–0 draw away at Brentford in February 2013.[3] He played the full 90 minutes and earned praise from manager Dean Smith for his performance.[4] However, Walsall released George in May 2014 with no further appearances.[5]
George then signed with Chasetown, but moved on to Rugby Town in September.[6] George made 25 league appearances for the club during the 2014–15 season.[7] In June 2015, he signed for Leamington, a club he had previously had a trial with after leaving Walsall.[8] After regular appearances in his first season, George struggled in competition with Richard Taundry for game time at right wing-back.[9] He then moved on to Stamford for the 2017–18 season.[10] Made 45 appearances for the club in a season where the narrowly missed out on promotion to bedworth in the play off final,[11] and left the club after being unable to commit to training twice a week.[12] He subsequently signed for Sutton Coldfield Town and was immediately in the starting 11.[13][14][15]
