A right-arm fast-medium bowler, George played his first-class cricket for South Australia and then the Queensland Bulls before retiring at the conclusion of the 2019 season.

[1] George, who was born at Woodville, South Australia, gained a rookie contract with the state side in 2005/06 but lost it the very next season.

However, around the 2005/06 season, George started taking hauls of wickets in the A grade for the Western Eagles and soon won a place in the South Australian Shield Cricket team.

He recently was honoured with the naming of the Ferguson-George Cricket Academy for promising young players in the West Torrens zone named after him and Southern Redbacks team-mate and fellow Australian Cricket Representative Callum Ferguson.

They were at school together at Temple Christian College, Mile End and were together for three years before marrying, aged 21.
