A second-year full-back, George Howard is capable of playing on either side of the defence and combines a good engine with the ability to get up in support of attacks.

That ability led to three goals in 2025/26 for the Under-17s, and he marked his Under-19s debut with another against Maidenhead United on the opening day of the 2026/27 campaign.

A County Cup winner with Concord Rangers Under-18s last season, an FA Youth Cup goal and performance against Needham Market in October led to him training with the first team for the first time. Another to spend time on a dual-registration with White Ensign.
