In his first year with the Bulldogs, Geordi also led the Under 21 team as captain. By 1990, he was a regular player in the reserve grade team. In 1991, he became a regular player in the first-grade team.
Key Moments with Canterbury

Geordi scored his first try in a top-level game in round 9 of the 1991 season. This happened during the Bulldogs' 18–16 loss to the Canberra Raiders at Bruce Stadium. After 1991, he spent most of the next three seasons playing in the reserve grade. His time with Canterbury ended after the 1994 season.
Moving to Other Teams

In 1996, Geordi joined the South Sydney Rabbitohs. He played for South Sydney for three seasons. Unfortunately, he continued to have problems with injuries. He did not play any games at all during the 1997 season. After the 1998 season, Geordi decided to retire from professional rugby league.
