George Tsamouras is a 19-year-old football player who plays for Newcastle Olympic FC. The team is based in Hamilton, a suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales. They currently compete in the National Premier League of Northern NSW, the second tier of football in Australia.
George began his football journey at Newcastle Olympic at the age of 6 back in 2012. At the end of the season as an under 9 in 2015, he was identified by Newcastle Football and spent the remaining three seasons in the elite Skill Acquisition Programme run initially by Newcastle Football and then by NNSW Football.
He returned to Olympic in 2019 and joined the u13s NPL competition while at the same time being part of the Talent Support Programme, run by NNSW Football. The following two seasons, despite being interrupted by Covid-19 restrictions and lockdowns, the Newcastle Olympic team were back-to -back premiers! George himself was successful in being picked in the Talent Support Programme of 2021, the NNSW State Team which was scheduled to play in the Australian Nationals and finally the Academy of the Newcastle Jets. George was also voted Newcastle Olympic U15s Player’s Player of the Year for 2021!
In 2022 George played in all but one of the 30 matches for u16s Newcastle Jets (missed 1 match due to Covid isolation) as well as a further 11 for u18s Newcastle Jets! He also received an offer to play for the u18s Newcastle Jets in 2023 which he accepted. In terms of honors, George helped U16s Newcastle Jets win the u16s FNSW Boy’s Youth League 2 Premiership, Grand-Final as well as promotion to Youth League One in 2023!
In 2023 George participated in the U18s FNSW Boy’s Youth League One competition as well as the U20s FNSW League Two Men’s competition with the Newcastle Jets. He played 17 games for U20s and was successful in winning the U20s FNSW League Two Men’s Premiership for 2023.
George also made his first step towards the European dream in 2023! After securing a European passport, he accepted invitations to trial by Greek Super League 1 sides, Asteras Tripolis and Panathinaikos! Unable to secure a spot in these two clubs, more because of his young age than talent, George completed a three week trial at Super League 2 side A.S.A. Karditsa FC and was offered a place in their U19s squad for season 2023-24!
George played in the U19s side for the duration of the season and by November was invited to train with the first grade team. At the end of the season he returned to Australia and trained with Newcastle Olympic to maintain his fitness.
In 2024-25 ASA Karditsa invited the player to participate in the senior team’s pre-season training programme! After three weeks of training, the newly appointed coach showed little interest in the club’s youth and began signing senior players from all over the country! After refusing to offer a single position to any of the club’s U19s players, George was left with no other option but to return home.
Celebrating his 18th birthday as well as gaining an apprenticeship with a local Newcastle firm within a month from his return, George became committed to living and playing in Newcastle for the next three years! Returning to Newcastle Olympic and playing for the club where his football journey began was a decision that didn’t require much deliberation!
In 2025 George was a member of Newcastle Olympics’ Reserve Grade Men’s NPL team, played in all but three games which he missed through injury and despite being a midfielder, was equal third highest goal scorer! He was also on the bench for many First-Grade games but most importantly of all, he assisted his team in winning the 2025 Reserve Grade Men’s NPL Premiership of Northern NSW! This was his third Premiership in Newcastle Olympic colours and the 5th Premiership in the past 6 seasons!
