Bangor University graduation 2014: Rugby ace awarded Honorary Fellowship
Brought up on Anglesey and a former pupil of Ysgol Bodedern, George was the youngest player ever to score a try on his debut for Wales.
He was presented with an Honorary Fellowship for services to sport by Prof Tim Woodman, Head of the School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences at Bangor University.
Prior to the Ceremony George, who also plays for the British and Irish Lions, said: “First of all can I say thank you for the massive honour and privilege, there’s a great list of people who’ve received the Honour before me and it’s an honour and a privilege to be here today.”
George had these two tips to share with future rugby stars.
He said: “You’ve got to keep on enjoying your rugby, when you enjoy it, you’ll push yourself harder and train for longer – also keep going, never give up until the end because you only get one chance.”
