Wolves defender George Friend has headed out on loan for the third time this season after agreeing a month-long deal with Scunthorpe United. 25-11-09: Scunthorpe have extended the loan spell of George Friend. 14-6-10: Doncaster have snapped up defender George Friend on a two-year contract following his departure from Wolves. The full-back, 22, who can also play in midfield, was informed at the end of the season that he was surplus to requirements at Molineux. Friend joined Wolves from Exeter for £350,000 in 2008 but managed only eight first-team appearances and had loan spells with Millwall, Southend and Scunthorpe as well as a stint back at St James Park. However, he did play in Wanderers' controversial trip to Manchester United last season, when manager Mick McCarthy made 10 changes to his starting line-up. Friend refused to rule out a permanent return to Exeter this summer but Doncaster have now won the chase for his signature. 4-3-10: Defender George Friend has returned to Exeter on loan from Wolves until the end of the season. Friend began his career at St James' Park and made 37 appearances for the club before signing for Wolves on transfer deadline day in 2008. He made seven appearances during his first season at the club before spending loan spells this season in the Championship with Scunthorpe and in League One with Southend and Millwall. As well as playing at centre-back, Friend can also play at left-back and on the left of midfield as he did during his last appearance for Mick McCarthy's side at Old Trafford in December.
