Grimsby Town have confirmed the signing of former Fulham and MK Dons attacker George Williams on their official club website, bringing him in on a free transfer after his release from Forest Green.
Good luck to him - I was hoping he'd go on to great things with us. Nice lad, super-talented but injury led to a tough few years
Pleased he has managed to pick up another contract. It does seem a long time since we had such high hopes for him.
I always liked him. He looked very promising before his injury. I just checked his stats at Transfermarkt. Looks like he was a regular starter during his first season at Forest Green but hardly played at all last season. Clearly it was time to move on.
I was surprised to see Transfermarkt listing him as a LW, CF, RW, SS, LM, AM, RM, CM. That's insane! But I guess that's based on which positions clubs have played/tested him rather than the positions he is actually suitable for.
I hope he has a long and successful career.

He broke his leg three minutes into last season and it has been a long road back to full fitness. Always thought he had something about him and he was unfortunate with injuries during his time with us. Hope he can fit his feet and form at Grimsby.
BBC item roughly a month ago about George here - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53268690
Ian Holloway putting a decent side together there.
Dennis Adeniran,a Spanish striker bought and a couple other decent frees.
Think I might have a little wager to win league 2,and also cover it to be promoted.
Im in pocket having had Fulham,Coventry and Plymouth in a promotion treble.
Good luck George. :54:
