Born on the 10th June 1998, Dennis Geiger is a 27 year-old midfielder hailing from Germany. He primarily occupies the role of a central defensive midfielder for Aberdeen and sports the number 8 jersey. Standing at 5ft 8in (1.73m) tall and weighing in at 10st 7lb (67kg), Geiger has carved out a niche for himself in the physically demanding universe of football.
His current market value is estimated to be around £1.35m according to Transfermarkt.
Geiger cut his footballing teeth with 1899 Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, climbing the ranks as a trainee since his admission in July 2009. His debut for the first team came in the 2017 - 2018 season during which he made 21 appearances and netted two goals. He had lesser luck in the 2018 - 2019 season with just four appearances to his name. He reclaimed the spotlight in the 2019 - 2020 season, with another 21 appearances. The subsequent two seasons proved inconsistent for Geiger with nine appearances and one goal in the 2020 - 2021 season, and 20 appearances with two goals the following year. In the 2022 - 2023 season, Geiger reached a career high with 27 appearances and one goal. His final season with Hoffenheim, 2024 - 2025, saw him making 20 first-team appearances.
In a surprisingly swift turn of events, Geiger made a loan switch from 1899 Hoffenheim to Aberdeen in the Premiership in February 2026. His current season with Aberdeen has witnessed five first team appearances so far.
Geiger also has the experience of Scottish Cup football under his belt, participating in the 2025 - 2026 season with Aberdeen, managing to pencil his name in the starting eleven on one occasion.
