New signing Shamal George was introduced to Livingston fans ahead of Saturday’s League Cup game against Kelty Hearts
Goalkeeper Shamal George has joined Livingston from Colchester United for an undisclosed fee, despite manager David Martindale saying he has “far more lucrative offers elsewhere”.
24-year-old George has signed a four-year deal with the Scottish Premiership club.
He spent two seasons at League Two Colchester after starting his career at Liverpool where he failed to break through in the first team.
“We’re really excited to get this one over the line,” said Martindale.
“It’s very rare for Livingston to spend money on a transfer fee, but it shows you how much we appreciate Shamal and our ambitions for him.”
George, who was previously on loan at Carlisle United, Tranmere Rovers and Marine, was Colchester’s player of the year last season after the club finished 15th in the second tier.
“We’ve been following Shamal for a few months now,” Martindale added.
“I would like to thank Shamal myself as I know he had far more lucrative offers elsewhere but chose to continue his development with us.”
