The
19-year-old joins on loan from Championship neighbours AFC Bournemouth.
Born
in Yeovil, Genesini played with the Brazil Soccer School between the ages of 6
and 9.
When
he was 8, he had a life-threatening injury after a steel goal frame fell on his
head, forcing it on to a concrete floor. It gave him a lump on his head the
size of two golf balls.
Predominantly
employed as a right-back or right wing-back, he was one of the most consistent
performers as Bournemouth's under-18s were crowned EFL Youth Alliance South
West champions.
In
2018/19, he helped the under-18s reach the quarter-final of the FA Youth Cup
and started for the under-21s in their first Central League Cup final win over
Notts County.
In
January 2020 Genesini was named as a substitute in the Cherries’ Emirates FA
Cup Fourth Round tie against Arsenal but has yet to make his senior debut.
He
signed a new contract in the summer after helping the under-21s to the
Hampshire Senior Cup and a second Central League Cup two months before. |
