Career

Genevier moved to Italy in 2003, joining Perugia of Serie A and making four appearances in the Italian top flight before being loaned to Serie B side Catania in January 2004, being rarely featured in the regular lineup and playing only eight times with the etnei.^[1] In December 2004 he was consequently released by Perugia and signed by Serie C1 team Acireale, where he finally managed to play regularly.

He returned to Siena for 2010–11 Serie B, also due to his injury.^[5] After recovery, Genevier played for the reserve of Siena^[6]^[7] as well as for the first team in friendly match.^[8] Genevier only played once competitively, the last round of the league.

In 2011–12 Lega Pro Prima Divisione, Genevier returned to Pisa, now as "AC Pisa 1909 Società sportiva a responsabilità limitata". In 2012–13 Serie B, he was the player of Juve Stabia and Pro Vercelli. On 2 September 2014 Genevier was signed by Novara Calcio.^[9]
