Career edit

Georgiou joined Stevenage's academy aged 13,[3] and progressed through the youth ranks at the club.[3] He was a regular starter for the club's U18 side during the 2016–17 season, and subsequently signed his first professional contract with the Hertfordshire side in April 2017.[3][4]

Ahead of the 2017–18 season, having trained with the first-team, Georgiou scored a hat-trick in a 4–4 pre-season friendly draw away at Biggleswade Town.[5] He made his professional debut on 3 October 2017, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute in Stevenage's 0–0 draw away at Milton Keynes Dons in the EFL Trophy.[6] Georgiou made his Football League debut four days later, appearing as a late second-half substitute as Stevenage fell to a 1–0 away defeat to Crewe Alexandra.[7]

Having made three appearances for Stevenage during the first half of the 2018–19 season,[8] Stevenage managed Dino Maamria stated that Georgiou needed "to be playing week in week out to develop his craft".[9] He subsequently joined Southern League Premier Division South club Kings Langley on loan on 18 January 2019.[9] Alongside the loan move, Stevenage also stated that they had triggered an option to extend Georgiou's contract by a further year.[9] He scored on his debut for Kings Langley in a 2–2 draw away at Weymouth a day after joining the club, scoring a 94th-minute penalty in the match to restore parity.[10] Georgiou made 16 appearances during the loan spell, scoring four times.[11]

Georgiou went on trial with Championship club Middlesbrough in July 2019.[12][13] He played and scored for Middlesbrough's U23 team in a 7–1 victory over Bishop Auckland, although no move materialised.[12][13]

On 19 September 2019, Georgiou was loaned out to St Albans City until January 2020.[14] However, he was recalled on 15 November 2019 and instead loaned out to Hendon, also until January 2020.[15] The deal was later extended until the end of the season.[16]

On 29 September 2020, Georgiou was signed by Wycombe Wanderers following the launch of a ‘B Team’ Programme.[17] On 12 May 2021 it was announced that he would leave Wycombe at the end of the season.[18]

In October 2021, Georgiou signed for Haringey Borough. In December 2022, he returned to his former club, Kings Langley.[19]

After a spell back at St Albans City, Georgiou joined Braintree Town in December 2023.[20] After just five appearances, Georgiou left the club in January 2024.[21]

On 2 February 2024, following his departure from Braintree, Georgiou joined Royston Town.[22]
