The former Luton Town star was playing the final game of his latest short term contract before going in on Monday to see Andy Preece about a longer deal.
And his chances of staying at Gigg Lane weren't harmed by an 82nd minute winner - his first goal in senior football for eighteen months.
George collected a short pass from substitute David Nugent and drove in a low shot from 10 yards to give Bury maximum points.
It was nothing more than the Shakers deserved. They dominated the match but couldn't apply a finishing touch due to some poor shooting and several fine saves by Kevin Miller.
And the Grecians could have stolen a win when Steve Flack headed wide midway through the second half.
Eventually, Bury got it right and George netted a priceless winner that keeps the Shakers well in touch with the rest of the third division's promotion chasers.
