George Devenish - Aged 16 - SIGNED for Woking

16-year-old George Devenish recently attended our August five day camp all the way from Spain and was scouted by Woking! Since then, he has trialled with the club and gone on to sign for their academy!

 

We spoke to George’s mother Clare who told us about his footballing background: “George played for the local grassroots Spanish team, it was called CD Javea. He’s been there for years and worked his way up through the club.”

 

“He has never had any other trials for clubs, so to get scouted almost immediately at your event and to then go on to sign was absolutely amazing.”

 

When asked why George chose to attend our event, Clare explained: “He attended your event to see where he was at, as he’s been playing in Spain he wanted to see how he compared to players in England. He’s got such a passion for football, that’s his thing, he just loves it and knew that’s what he wanted to do.”

 

Clare explained the process after being scouted, telling us: “He was originally invited over for two days with the club to see how he got on with them. So he flew back to England, spent the time with the team and then we were told they wanted to sign him. So from the five day camp to him signing was around two weeks!”

 

 

When asked how George is feeling about this, Clare told us: “George is so pleased! It was a big decision for him as he’s lived over here in Spain all of his life but it was such a great opportunity and they’re so lovely at Woking.”

 

“George has played a couple of matches and slotted straight in. He’s living with family back in England and he absolutely loves it.”

 

“We are immensely proud of George, for a 16-year-old to leave home and pursue his dream is amazing, we couldn’t be prouder.”

 

Everyone at UK Football Trials would like to congratulate George and hope he can continue to impress at Woking.
