Eugenio Suárez Santos, aka Geni (born 4 February 1980), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Avilés in Segunda División B, 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, with the club then in La Liga. Definitely promoted to the main squad in 2000, he would see the side lose two categories in only two seasons.
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 side 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.
Personal
Geni's younger brother, Alberto Suárez, is also a professional footballer. He spent the vast majority of his career in the third division.
