Paul George (born 27 January 1994) is an Irish professional footballer who plays for red devils Australia.

George has previously played for Scottish sides Celtic, Hamilton, and Dunfermline Athletic; he has also represented both Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland at youth levels.

Career

George joined the Celtic youth squad in 2008[1] and made his senior debut on 21 September 2011 when he came on as a late substitute in a 2–0 League Cup victory over Ross County.[2] He suffered a broken leg on 7 April 2012, following a challenge by a Rangers player in a U19 Old Firm match. Celtic initially announced that he could be out for between six and eight months following the injury.[3] Despite the injury, George's performances over the course of the season saw him win the Under 19 League Player of the Season award.[4]

After recovering from this injury, George joined Scottish Championship club Hamilton Academical on loan in January 2014[5] and made 6 appearances in total.[6] He returned to Celtic at the end of the season but an injury in pre-season training saw George miss a substantial part of the start of the 2014-15 season.[7] He made a handful of appearances for the Development Side[7] before being released by Celtic in January 2015.[8]

In February 2015, George appeared as a trialist for Dunfermline Athletic in a Fife Cup match against Cowdenbeath.[9] After impressing manager John Potter with his performance, the Pars signed George until the end of the season.[8][10] George was released at the end of the season, after making four appearances for the side.[11]

After having trials at Derry City and Glentoran,[12] George signed for Cliftonville in October 2015.[13]

International career

Killough born George started his international career with Northern Ireland, earning three under-17 caps. In 2011, he switched allegiance to the Republic of Ireland earning under-17 and under-19 caps.[14]
