'Game time is important for me because last year I didn't play much. Game time is the main focus.
'Liverpool will be watching me so hopefully they'll see I'm good enough and I can come back and push on here.'
Carlisle's goalkeeping coach Simon Tracey welcomed George's move to Brunton Park.
'He's a player I've monitored since he was 17-years-old and he's a real prospect,' he told carlisleunited.com. This will be a fantastic experience for him which will be of benefit to all parties concerned.
'He's going to be in a competitive and demanding first-team environment and we think he has the character and temperament which will relish the challenge that throws up.'
