Capable of operating anywhere up and down the right flank, Nugent brings a potent mix of high energy, technical quality, and valuable higher-level experience to the Vics squad as preparation for the upcoming campaign gathers pace.

From Football League Debut to Step 4 Experience
George began his career in the academy ranks at Tranmere Rovers, where he made his senior professional debut in the EFL Trophy against Leicester City U21s.

Since his time with Rovers, Nugent has established himself as a proven operator at Step 4, featuring for respected non-league sides including:

Prescot Cables

Trafford FC

Colwyn Bay

Vauxhall Motors (most recently)

Pre-Season Standout
Nugent has already caught the eye of the Vics faithful during pre-season fixtures, demonstrating incredible work ethic, determination, and composure on the ball. His tactical flexibility on the right wing provides the squad with crucial depth and dynamism ahead of a competitive season.

Manager’s View: Lee Duckworth
Vics First Team Manager Lee Duckworth expressed his delight at securing Nugent’s signature:

"George came down from Vauxhalls and settled very quickly. He’s quick and versatile with bags of quality. His ability to perform at a high standard across a few positions makes him a great acquisition for the club.

He’s a multitude of experience at step 4 and has shown his qualities in recent friendlies. Great to have him on board."

In the Player’s Words: George Nugent
Speaking after putting pen to paper, George shared his enthusiasm for the campaign ahead:

"I’m excited to be signing for the team and looking forward to the season ahead. The team had an excellent season last year and came close to achieving promotion.

I’ve got a great opportunity to show my qualities on the pitch, and hopefully I can help the team achieve their goals that they narrowly missed out on last year."

Everyone at Northwich Victoria warmly welcomes George to the club and looks forward to seeing him make a big impact in the green shirt this season!
