The defender joined our Academy as an Under-12 and has been developed through the age groups at Cobham. Last season, Genesis made 19 appearances for our Under-18s, scoring twice, before moving into the Under-21s where he made 12 appearances. Genesis’ form has also resulted in senior involvement, as he was named in the match-day squad for our Premier League win over Leicester City in March. The 18-year-old’s first-team debut came soon after, as he was introduced as a substitute in the second leg of our Conference League victory over FC Copenhagen. A second senior outing followed in the semi-final against Djurgarden.
