Chelsea career

George made his way through to the Under-16s and impressed at left-back despite his diminutive stature. By the time his scholarship came around he had shot up to a decent height, and is now comfortably amongst the taller players in the squad.
Unexpectedly, and perhaps as a consequence of a proliferation of left-back options, George played pretty much all of his football in 2009-10 in an anchor role in defensive midfield. Whilst perhaps not of ideal stature for the role, he dislayed good intelligence, composure and touch in breaking up play and keeping it simple.

He was rewarded for his development with a professional contract in July 2010, and was a growing presence in the Under-18 team (often at centre-back), whilst making the step-up to the reserve team squad. Towards the end of the campaign he became a feature for Steve Holland on the way to winning the national Reserve League title, and under Dermot Drummy in 2011-12 George was a regular part of the team in both defensive and midfield capacities; often lining up at centre-back.

Pre-Chelsea

George came to Chelsea as an 11 year-old in 2004 when Brendan Rodgers joined the club from Reading. Rodgers brought a number of players over with him, including George and his older brother Jack Saville.

International career

George has been called up to the England Under-16 squad on one occasion and the England Under-18 squad as an injury replacement, but remains uncapped.
