George Friend (born October 19, 1987 in Barnstaple) is an English footballer, signed to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Career
Friend began his career at non-league Exeter City as a youth team player, signing a two-year professional contract in March 2006. Able to play left-back, centre-back or even as a left-sided midfield player, he made his league debut on 17 April 2006 in a goalless draw at Forest Green Rovers.
During his early career, he also had loan spells with Tiverton Town (at the start of the 2005/06 season), Team Bath (in December 2006) and Folkestone Invicta.

After playing in Exeter's opening games back in the Football League, he moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers of the Championship on 1 September 2008, signing a two-year deal, with the option of a third year,[1] for an initial fee of £350,000.[2] he aslo has a legend of a cousin called olly friend who has a special friend called luke hymer.
