The
29-year-old, who represented England at under-16, 17, 18 and under-19 level,
arrives at The Eyrie having played over 50 games in the Championship for Derby
County and a dozen in the Premier League for West Bromwich Albion.
His
six years at Derby were hit with injury, but he had successful seasons at Pride
Park including the Rams run to the play-off final in 2019.
He
also had loan spells with Portsmouth twice, Peterborough United, Luton Town,
Watford and Oxford United.
He
left the professional game last summer after a short spell with Oxford United and,
having taken some time away from football, now returns to the game to help
drive the Eagles forward.
Manager
Gary Setchell told his club’s website: "I'm really happy we've managed to
attract a player of George's quality to The Eyrie. He has an abundance of
experience having played in the Championship and Premier League. This
experience in the dressing room will prove crucial as we continue to develop
the side". |
