George Tsamouras is a 16-year-old football player who plays for the u18s youth team of the Newcastle Jets Academy. The team participates in the Football NSW Boy’s Youth League One competition.

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!

Bring on 2023!
