Geiger signed his professional contract with Hoffenheim in January 2017, he represented them from U12s and has represented Germany at all levels from the U15. In May of 2015, he finished second with the Germany U17 at the European Championships in Bulgaria. In spring of 2016, he played a big role in TSG U19s' run to the final of the German Championship. In the final itself, he scored the 1-1 equaliser in the 5-3 loss to Borussia Dortmund.
On 19 August 2017, he made his professional debut in a win over Werder Bremen. He also made his UEFA Europa League debut on the same month.
Style of play
Described as a holding midfielder, Geiger - in the reserves at the time - was probably the last player Hoffenheim fans would have expected to fill the void. He's made the role his own, though; his reading of the game, confidence in possession, defensive and offensive contribution all hallmarks of a top-class holding midfielder.
