Hide AdGeorgiou made his first-team debut in October 2017 and has played nine times for Stevenage’s senior side.
Last season the League Two club extended Georgiou’s contract after triggering an extra year, before the player signed for Southern League Premier Division side Kings Langley on loan to gain more game time.
How did he play for Boro? – After a difficult start, which consisted of a few loose touches and unsuccessful runs, Georgiou showed what he’s capable of.
He added Boro’s sixth goal of the afternoon with an impressive finish from the edge of the area but still looks very raw at first glance.

Hide AdWhat people have said about him – When Georgiou joined Kings Langley last season, Stevanage manager Dino Mammria said: “Andron is an impact player who needs to be playing week in week out to develop his craft.
“We will monitor him closely and hope that he can impress every week and stake a claim for a squad place in the near future."
Following Boro’s 7-1 win over Bishop Auckland, under-23s coach Graeme Lee was asked about the player, to which he replied: “Andron's on trial. I think he's still at Stevenage and he's come in.
“He caught somebody's eye within the club so we're having a look at him. He's a young lad with talent so we'll see how he goes pre-season.
On the forward’s goal, Lee added: “It was a nice combination with a left-foot finish so that was really nice.”
