United CEO Stan Matthews expressed his satisfaction with the acquisition for
the next season saying:
“We are fortunate to have a great goalkeeping compliment at the club in Ronwen Williams and Boalefa Pule, and with Rowen Fernandez likely to leave at the end of the season it was important for us to have fierce competition in every position-including the keepers. I am certain that George will push Ronwen and Boalefa all the way and I’m looking forward to seeing a record amount of clean sheets next season.”
