George James McEachran (born 30 August 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League Two club Grimsby Town.
Chelsea
McEachran was an unused substitute for Chelsea in the 2019 UEFA Europa League Final. The following season, he spent a short time on loan at SC Cambuur in the Dutch second division.[2]
In this 2020–21 season, McEachran returned to the Netherlands with MVV Maastricht on a season-long loan. In December 2020, he ended his loan prematurely for 'compelling private reasons'.[3][4]
Swindon Town
In February 2023 he signed for Swindon Town.[5] On 2 May 2024, the club announced he would be released in the summer when his contract expired.[6]
Grimsby Town
On 4 July 2024, McEachran joined fellow League Two side Grimsby Town on a two-year deal.[7] He made his first appearance for the club off the bench in Grimsby's first league match away to Fleetwood Town.[8] McEachran was voted as Grimsby Town's player of the season for the 2024-25 season.
Personal life
He is the younger brother of fellow footballer Josh McEachran.
International career
McEachran was a member of the England U17s side that finished runners-up at the 2017 UEFA European Under-17 Championship - scoring in a 4-0 group stage victory over Ukraine[9] and going on to be named in the team of the tournament. McEachran and that Young Lions squad would go on to better that achievement later that year by winning the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India.[10]
