Joining Melbourne Victory on a three-year deal ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, Denis Genreau is a technically gifted 26-year-old midfielder.
While born in Paris, Genreau grew up in Melbourne and made his A-League debut for Melbourne City during the 2016/17 season.
Spending time on loan at Eredivisie side PEC Zwolle, Genreau went on to sign for Macarthur FC in 2020 and quickly established himself as one of the top midfielders in the country, winning the Macarthur Medal and earning a permanent move to Toulouse FC.
During the 2021 off-season, Genreau would have the honour of representing Australia at the Tokyo Olympics, starting in all three of the Olyroos’ group games.
