[edit] Career
As a youngster Geohaghon played for West Bromwich Albion. He moved to Sutton Coldfield Town in 2000, before joining Bromsgrove Rovers in 2005 for an undisclosed fee.[2] He left the club the following summer[3] and then joined Redditch United on trial in July 2006[4] before joining permanently a month later.[5]
On 7 August 2008 Geohaghon joined Kettering Town for an undisclosed fee,[6][7] after initially joining on a month's on loan at the club.[8] He soon became first choice centre-back in the Poppies defence alongside Guy Branston in the 2008–09 season.[9] Geohaghon's goal at Rockingham Road in the First round proper of the 2008–09 FA Cup as Kettering Town held Football League Two club Lincoln City to a 1-1 draw on 8 November 2008,[10] was picked out by Robbie Earle on the ITV FA Cup Highlights programme as one of the highlights of the round.[11]
In November 2008 Geohaghon was called into the England C squad by Paul Fairclough for the match against Italy. The game ended in a 2-2 draw, with Exodus playing the full game.[citation needed]
The defender was quoted as saying: "It's great to be going away with England and I just wish I had been going having scored the winner on Saturday. It's all about consistency and that's something I have always prided myself on. I have been able to get a run of games at this level and it has gone pretty well. I just want to keep it going and then play at a higher level - hopefully with Kettering. I want to play in the Football League and I would love to do that with Kettering. I think the full-time training and playing every week is helping me to improve. But it's a learning curve for me."[citation needed]
On 23 November 2008 it was reported that Championship sides Crystal Palace, Sheffield United and Plymouth Argyle were interested in signing Geohaghon in the 2009 January transfer window.[12] On 7 December 2008 Kettering manager Mark Cooper stated that it would take a "stupid" offer to allow the defender to leave the club.[12]
[edit] Style of play
He is known for his long-throwing ability.[13]
