Football career
Aged already 25, Geli made his La Liga debuts with hometown club Racing de Santander, courtesy of manager Javier Irureta. He then played a single season with Real Zaragoza after joining in the 1994 summer: regularly used in the league, where he scored in a 2–1 home win against FC Barcelona, he also played the last six minutes in the Aragonese side's 2–1 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final triumph over Arsenal, appearing in a further seven games in the victorious campaign.
During his three seasons at Celta de Vigo Geli, who would again reunite with Irureta in his final year, played in 61 top flight matches, but also struggled with injuries and loss of form. He played one more year with Racing, then finished his career at the age of 36 after stints at CF Extremadura (second division) and Gimnástica de Torrelavega (third).
Geli later worked as a local commentator in Racing's matches.
