Youth career
George is a midfielder who is most comfortable on the right wing but can also play in the middle and up front.

Towards the end of the 2015/16 season, George scored his first goal for the Under-18 side, away to Norwich City.
At the start of the 2016/17 season, George was named as an unused sub for the Under-23 side for the first time. During the first few months of the season he was used solely as a right back by the Under-18 side.
