Eugenio Suárez Santos (born 4 February 1980), known as Geni, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Marino de Luanco as a forward.
Football career
Born in Gijón, Asturias, Geni emerged through neighbours Real Oviedo's youth system, making his first-team debuts not yet aged 19 as the club was then in La Liga. Definitely promoted to the main squad in 2000, he would see the side lose two categories in only two years.
Geni then moved to Rayo Vallecano in the second division, playing almost 30 games without scoring in his first season, which ended in another relegation, and left in 2006 to another team in the third level, Real Jaén, where he played and scored regularly.
In 2009 Geni signed with Deportivo Alavés, with the Basque in division three. He continued competing in that category until the end of the 2014–15 campaign, also representing Real Avilés.
Personal life
Geni's younger brother, Alberto, was also a professional footballer. He spent the vast majority of his career in the third tier.
