Playing Career[edit]
Charlton Athletic FC invited George for a trial in the same summer of 1999, and George signed after playing his first game for his new club. In the summer of 2000 and at the age of 17 George signed his first professional contract at Charlton Athletic FC. In 2002 Charlton Athletic FC opted not to renew George’s contract, and of the interested clubs available George opted to meet with Bristol City FC.

George signed for Lincoln City FC in March 2004 and after making the playoffs but failing to win promotion, George along with most of the squad was released by the club. [2][3][4]
