Biography
George Philip North is a Welsh professional rugby union player who primarily plays centre for Ospreys and Wales. He made his international debut against South Africa during the 2010 Autumn Internationals. North has previously played for clubs such as Northampton Saints and Scarlets in the past.
He has also represented the British & Irish Lions and currently has the most tries in international rugby for an active player. North is the second highest all time try scorer for Wales behind Shane Williams. His usual position is as a wing, but he has also played at outside centre.
Club career
North played as a junior for Llangefni, Pwllheli, Rhyl and Gogledd Cymru under-16s.
Scarlets: 2010–2013
Before his international call-up, North had played six matches for the Scarlets first team, a record restricted by an injury.
Northampton Saints: 2013–2018
On 9 April 2013 it was confirmed that North would sign for Northampton Saints in the English Premiership for a reported fee of over £200,000. This announcement followed the Welsh Rugby Union claiming that Scarlets had attempted to sell North to French clubs, which had been rejected.
He scored his first Northampton Saints try against Sale Sharks after some excellent work by Jamie Elliott to make the score 12–0 in a game that finished 33–14 to Northampton. He scored his first Heineken Cup try for Saints on 14 December against Leinster Rugby. He started as Northampton beat Saracens to win the Premiership final.
North scored his 150th point for Saints with a try against Exeter Chiefs in the English Premiership on 30 September 2016.
North was instrumental in Saints securing a European Rugby Champions Cup place for the 2017–18 season as the side beat both Connacht Rugby and Stade Francais in the European Champions Cup play-off games to claim the final spot in the competition for the following season.
Return to Wales: 2018
On 22 November 2017, the Welsh Rugby Union announced that it had signed North to a National Dual Contract, with the WRU funding 60% and a Welsh region funding the remainder, that would take effect upon the expiry of North's contract with Northampton Saints at the end of the 2017–18 season. At the time of announcement, it had not yet been determined which of Wales' four Pro14 sides North would join. On 25 April 2018, the WRU announced that North would join the Ospreys effective with the 2018–19 season.
