Georgiou released by Yorkshire Carnegie

Yorkshire Carnegie have agreed to release full back Christian Georgiou from the remainder of his contract so he can look for new opportunities in the game.

The 24-year-old joined the Carnegie Academy in 2005 and made his debut in the 2011. After a spell on loan at Wharfedale, Georgiou cemented his place in the side during the 2014-15 season and was one of the most consistent performers.

"We would like to thank Christian for all his efforts for Yorkshire Carnegie," said Director of Rugby Chris Gibson. 

I know it has been tough for him to deal with the injuries that have occurred during his career however he has always been a great professional and been determined to return to his best. This release enables him to look for new options and the chance to play regular rugby."
