George began his career as a trainee with Exeter and came through to the professional ranks making his debut in April, 2006.

He enjoyed loan spells with Tiverton Town, Team Bath and Folkestone Invicta before things really took off as he was a virtual ever-present in Exeter's promotion winning side of 2007/08.

Friend appeared in the play-off final win over Cambridge at Wembley.

He signed for Wolves on transfer deadline day - September 1, 2008 - and made his debut in the game at Swansea in October.

Friend only made seven appearances in his debut season, but made a positive impact when he did, notably in away victories in the FA Cup and league against Birmingham and Crystal Palace respectively.

In the first half of the 2009/10 season he spent loan spells at Scunthorpe, Southend and Millwall before making his Premier League debut in the defeat at Manchester United in December.
