Club career

[edit]

Born in Gerena, Seville, Andalusia, Genaro was a Sevilla FC youth graduate. On 13 May 2016, he renewed his contract until 2019.[2]

Genaro made his senior debut with the C-team on 17 September 2017, starting and being sent off in a 4–0 Tercera División home routing of CD San Roque de Lepe.[3] He made his professional debut with the reserves the following 25 March, coming on as a late substitute for Curro in a 0–1 away win against Real Zaragoza in the Segunda División championship.[4]

On 7 July 2018, Genaro renewed his contract until 2021.[5] He made his first-team debut on 12 December 2019, starting and playing the full match in a 0–1 away loss against APOEL FC, on Sevilla's last group match of the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League.

On 5 October 2020, Genaro terminated his contract with the Nervionenses,[6] and signed a one-year contract with CD Mirandés in the second division just hours later.[7] He scored his first professional goal on 12 December, netting the game's only in an away success over CF Fuenlabrada.

On 13 August 2021, free agent Genaro agreed to a 1+1 deal with Málaga CF, still in the second tier.[8] The following 12 April, he renewed his contract until 2024.[9]

Genaro only became a regular starter for the Albicelestes in the 2023–24 season, as they achieved promotion from Primera Federación, but departed the club on 30 June 2024 as his link expired.[10] On 14 July, he agreed to a one-year deal with Córdoba CF, also promoted to division two.[11]
