George started his career with Saracens before joining Leicester Tigers in 2000.

He was born in Greenwich and first started playing Rugby at 12 when he went to Trinity School of John Whitgift in the London Borough of Croydon. He quickly established himself at hooker and went on to play his club rugby for Old Mid-Whitgiftians and gained representative honours for the London Division U18 side.

In 1994-95 George won his first cap for England Colts against Scotland and also went on that year’s summer tour to Canada. He was invited to trial for Saracens F.C. at the age of 19, where he played for five years. In 1998 he made a try-scoring debut for England A against France A at Tours, and in the same year went on the senior England ‘tour to hell’ against Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, featuring in the uncapped match at Invercargill against New Zealand Academy.

George took a year off and decided to travel in the U.S. and Australia and he was in Sydney for the 2000 Olympic Games. On returning he signed for Leicester Tigers in December 2000 and after the departure of Richard Cockerill in the summer of 2002, he competed with Dorian West as first choice hooker.

In 2003 he was back in the England reckoning, and in 2004 was a member of the England Churchill Cup squad in Canada.  Sporting a full beard, he featured in the 2007 World Cup squad, battling with Mark Regan for the role of first-choice hooker.

George continues to play for Leicester Tigers battling for another Guinness Premiership Title.
