Speaking to iFOLLOW the twenty-one year old said that one of reason he had come to the New York Stadium was because of the interest Rotherham had shown in him over the last couple of years.
‘I wanted to come to a team that I was wanted by and not just to anywhere to make up the numbers,’ George said. ‘I’ve come here to score goals.
‘I think this is the next step for me to come and show what I can do at this level and I feel I can really help the club. It is going to be a big challenge to get a starting spot in the team but that is healthy for everybody.
‘I’m delighted to be here.’
