West Ham’s Rising Star George Earthy Set to Join Bristol City on Loan

West Ham United’s highly-rated youngster George Earthy is poised to join Bristol City on a season-long loan deal, according to sources close to the club.

The 19-year-old attacking midfielder made his senior debut for the Hammers last season and scored his first goal for the club in their final home game of the campaign.

Earthy’s move to Ashton Gate is seen as an opportunity for him to gain more playing experience and regular first-team football, with West Ham having strengthened their attacking options during the transfer window.

Liam Manning, Bristol City’s manager, played a crucial role in bringing Earthy to the club, having previously coached him during his time as West Ham’s youth team coach.

Earthy has been praised for his enthusiasm, work rate, and dedication to training, drawing comparisons to West Ham legend Mark Noble. Speaking to Mail Sport, former West Ham player and coach Jack Collinson described Earthy as a “mini Mark Noble,” citing his competitive spirit and love for training.
