Shamal George, born on 6 January 1998, in England, is a goalkeeper for St Mirren at the age of 27. Standing at 1.91m (6ft 3in) tall and tipping the scales at 79kg (12st 6lb), George cuts an imposing figure between the sticks, making him a formidable opponent for any attacking player. He proudly wears the number 1 jersey, symbolising his primary role at the club.
His current market value is approximately £220k, giving you some sense of his talent and standing within the football community, according to Transfermarkt.
In August of 2017, George was transferred from the Premier League's Liverpool to Carlisle United in the National League, albeit on a loan. In his debut season of 2017-2018 at Carlisle United, he made an impact with four first team appearances in league matches.
In subsequent years, his career path took him on several different avenues. In July 2018, George was loaned to Tranmere Rovers of League Two, yet again from Liverpool. Following this, in August 2020 he was transferred from Liverpool to Colchester United, also in League Two.
In an intriguing turn of events, in July 2022, George made his journey northwards to Scotland, transferred from Colchester United to Livingston in the Premiership for an undisclosed fee. At Livingston he appeared 32 times in league matches for the seasons 2022 - 2023 and 2023 - 2024. However, he made a scant three appearances in the 2024 - 2025 season.
In a reverse of his earlier journey, he travelled south to join Wycombe Wanderers in England's League One in August 2024 for an undisclosed fee. However, the lure of Scotland persisted and in July 2025, George returned north to join St Mirren on loan.
In the current season of 2025 - 2026 in St Mirren, George has already made 12 first team appearances in league matches. His participation in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for St Mirren with four starts further cements his place at the heart of the club's defence.
