George Friend

George Friend, an English professional footballer, started his career at Exeter City before moving on to Wolverhampton Wanderers, Doncaster Rovers, and Middlesbrough in 2012. He captained Middlesbrough for the first time in 2015, quickly becoming a fan favourite and a popular player on and off the pitch for his charity work and engagement with the local community. Now at Birmingham City, George still visits Teesside often and retains a strong affection for the region - he gives his time and support to the new Football Performance Pathway and generously established this scholarship to support students develop their footballing skills during their studies.

I’m sure he‘ll be back in one way or another. You simply don’t let people like that shake hands and walk away for good. I’m sure he was looking at going into sports journalism when he retires, think he even did an OU degree in it. He’s a credit to himself. The model professional.

Yes, he studied at Staffordshire University for his degree.
He will have a few options when he eventually hangs up his boots.
George has followed on from Beth Mead who set up a scholarship at Teesside University for 4 students ahead of the Euros.
