Career

Geaney first came to prominence at juvenile and underage levels with the Dingle club. He joined the club's senior team in 2007 and won a Kerry Club Championship title in 2015.[1] Geaney first lined out at inter-county level as captain of the Kerry minor team that won the Munster Minor Championship in 2008.[2] After an unsuccessful two-year tenure with the Kerry under-21 team, he was drafted onto the Kerry senior football team during the 2011 league. After a number of years as a panel member, Geaney eventually broke onto the starting fifteen and was at right corner-forward when Kerry beat Donegal in the 2014 All-Ireland SFC final.[3] His other honours include National League and Munster Championship titles.

Personal life

Geaney works in the family business in Paul Geaney's Bar and Restaurant in Dingle.[4] He married Siún Ó Sé, daughter of Páidí Ó Sé, in December 2018.[5]

He is the grandson of Lispole man, Paudie Fitzgerald, winner of Ireland's top cycling event, the Rás Tailteann, in 1956, where he was a key figure in the renowned Kerry cycling team of the 1950s.[6]
