George Weah Jr. (born 27 August 1987) is an American footballer who most recently played as a midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain II. He is the son of former FIFA World Player of the Year, George Weah. Weah Jr. began in the A.C. Milan youth team, but after being released has played for a succession of teams around Europe. He was capped for the United States men's national under-20 soccer team, but has no international caps at senior level.
Weah is the son of the former Liberian FIFA World Player of the Year, and presently Liberian Senator George Weah. Junior was born in Liberia, but was raised in the United States. He was one of three of Weah's children to show an aptitude and interest in association football at a young age. While Junior's sister Tita chose to return to school studies, both Junior and his brother Timothy pursued a professional career.
Weah began his career in the youth team of A.C. Milan at the age of 14, but was released in 2007 after long series of injuries shortly prior to turning 20. In October that year, he joined Slavia Prague on trial, but he was not offered a contract by the Czech side. Coach Karel Jarolím explained that the team were looking for a "different type of player" to Weah.
Weah Junior briefly played for CS Romontois in Switzerland, before moving within the country to Wohlen. In 2011, Weah Junior joined FC Baden. On 3 February 2012, Weah Jr joined Kaliakra Kavarna on a one-and-a-half-year deal, after a successful trial with the Bulgarian A PFG club. He was handed the number 13 shirt.
