Andronicos Georgiou

A forward by trade, you can almost consider Andronicos Georgiou to be a Boro’ veteran in some respects; joining our academy at the age of 13-years-old. The London-born player of Cypriot descent had been at the club five years by the time he broke into the first team squad during the 2017-8 campaign. He turned pro in April 2017; making a real impression at each age level he has played in at the Lamex.

One notable highlight in his fledgling Boro’ career was his hattrick at Biggleswade Town in a summer 2017 pre-season friendly. It was the first three of many goals we’d hoped to see from him in the red and white. But the forward’s time hadn’t quite come during the 2018-9 season. Still, he did go out on loan to Kings Langley and continue his development there; getting plenty of first-team action under his belt in the process.

In keeping him on for the 2019-20 campaign, manager Dino Maamria clearly still had high hopes for a lad moving in the right direction at Boro’. Things, however, didn’t go to plan for either us or the player that season. As we floundered at the wrong end of the League Two table, Georgiou found himself out on loan again. Any hopes of breaking into the first team reckoning were curtailed by the coronavirus pandemic. He was released in summer 2020.
