George North Bio

George North is a Welsh try-scoring supremo who holds the record for the most tries in international rugby for an active player. He was inducted into the RugbyPass Hall of Fame in 2021.

Born on 13 April 1992, George North was born in England but moved to Anglesey when he was two years old. As a result, he played all of his junior rugby in Wales and represented Llangefni, Pwllheli, Rhyl and Gogledd Cymru under 16s.

George North first appeared for Scarlets in 2010. However, it did not take long for the international team to notice his skills. In fact, he'd only played in six games for Scarlets before he represented Wales for the first time. 

In total, George North played 42 games for Scarlets before he left to join Northampton Saints in 2013. During his five years at the club, he put in a number of impressive performances and was instrumental in the club's European Rugby Challenge Cup win and Premiership triumph in 2014.

When his contract with the Saints ran out, George North returned to Wales and joined Ospreys, where he stayed until 2024. He then joined Provence Rugby, where he continues to play today. 

However, although George North has enjoyed a distinguished club career, he has truly excelled on the international stage. He retired from international duty in 2024, having amassed more than 120 caps. In doing so, he became the the youngest player to be capped 100 times by Wales. 

Additionally, during his distinguished career, he also scored a staggering 47 tries for his country. This makes him one of the most prolific try scorers of all time.

Thanks to his prowess for his country, George North was also named in the squad for two British & Irish Lions tours. He made three test appearances on the 2013 tour, scoring two tries in the process. 

George North may no longer play for Wales or the British and Irish Lions, but he still has plenty to offer for Provence Rugby. We can’t wait to watch the rest of his career closely.
