21-year-old George Pilkington is a promising defender who displays maturity beyong his tender years.

The boyhood Nottingham Forest fan was a regular in Andy Holden’s Reserve side last year and has made the progression to the first team squad.

A good prospect for the future, George travelled to the pre-season camp in Austria to gain experience with his new team-mates.

The Staffordshire born defender is hoping to progress this season and is currently on-loan at Exeter City.
