Geni (footballer)

Eugenio Suárez Santos (born 4 February 1980), known as Geni, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Club career
Born in Gijón, Asturias, Geni emerged through neighbours Real Oviedo's youth system, making his first-team debut not yet aged 19 as the club was then in La Liga. Definitely promoted to the main squad in 2000, he would see them drop two tiers in only two years.

Geni then moved to Rayo Vallecano of Segunda División, playing 30 total games without scoring in his first season, which ended in another relegation, and leaving in 2006 to another side in the Segunda División B, Real Jaén, where he appeared and scored regularly.

In summer 2009, Geni signed for Deportivo Alavés, with the Basques in division three. He continued competing there until the end of the 2014–15 campaign, also representing Real Avilés CF.

Personal life
Geni's younger brother, Alberto, was also a footballer. He spent the vast majority of his career in the third tier.
