Geoffrey Claeys (born October 5, 1974 in Brugge, Belgium) is a football player formerly playing for Melbourne Victory Football Club. He wore the number 5 shirt, and was a central Defender.
Claeys is a former Belgian international and was capped 10 times. He began his careers at Belgian club Cercle Brugge where some predicted him a bright future. He left the club in 1996 for Dutch Feyenoord, then he made an unsuccessful move to R.S.C. Anderlecht and was so transferred to K.S.C. Eendracht Aalst on loan. He later played for Lierse and Royal Excelsior Mouscron, before moving to Melbourne Victory in 2005. Although he enjoyed a solid season in the Victory defence, he has rarely figured in the leadup to the 06-07 season and was eventually told by Ernie Merrick he would not feature this season and Geoffrey in the end adopted a coaching role around the club. On the 21st of November Geoffrey retired from football, he was given a send off at half time against Newcastle Jets on November 26.
