About Denis

After regular appearances with Melbourne City’s Youth team, Denis Genreau made his A-League debut at age 17 as a second-half substitute against Perth Glory. 

Whilst at Melbourne City, Genreau was afforded little opportunities to perform at a senior level, and was subsequently loaned to Dutch side PEC Zwolle for the 2018/19 season where he trained and played amongst the best of the national Eredivisie. 

Once he was back in Australia, Genreau returned to Melbourne City for the 2019/20 season and subsequently signed a contract with A-League newcomers Macarthur FC for the following season.

Socceroos head coach Graham Arnold rewarded Genreau's hard work and impressive form in June 2021 with a call-up to the senior Australian side. Genreau made his international debut in a World Cup Qualifying match against Chinese Taipei. 

Denis would then receive an international move in 2021, moving to French Ligue 2 side Toulouse. 

Genreau made his Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020 and began all three of Australia’s games alongside Connor Metcalfe as the holding midfield contingent of the squad. Holding their own in competitive fixtures against Argentina, Spain and Egypt.
