George Lebese (born 3 February 1989) is a South African international footballer who plays as a left winger.
Born in Mamelodi, Lebese spent his early career with Jusben, Khona Lapho and Arcadia Shepherds.[1] Lebese joined Kaizer Chiefs ahead of the 2008–09 season. He signed for Mamelodi Sundowns in August 2017.[2] He spent time on loan at Supersport United before being released in September 2019.[3] He moved to American side Colorado Springs Switchbacks for the 2020 season.[4] In March 2021 it was announced that Lebese had left Colorado by mutual consent following the implementation of a COVID-19 related travel ban in the United States, which prevented him from travelling from South Africa.[5]
He received his first call-up to the South African national team in November 2011,[6] making his international debut against Ivory Coast on 11 November 2011.
