Career

A former Dinamo Bucharest youth player, Georgescu also played for Coresi and Olimpia Ramnicu Sarat in his home country. [1]

He signed for Bray Wanderers in July 2005 from Dublin AUL League side North Athletic. Georgescu who wears the squad number 9 at Bray made his debut for the Wicklow club on 15 July 2005 impressing to help the Seagulls to a 2–1 away victory over Waterford United. [2] Georgescu, whose nickname is "Franco", became an instant favourite with Bray's supporters. He spent 3 years with Bray Wanderers until the 2008 season when he struggled to remain a permanent fixture in Bray's first team. As a result, Georgescu was loaned out to First Division title chasing side Shelbourne for the remainder of 2008. [3] A combination of injuries and intense competition amongst Shelbourne's forward lineup saw Georgescu limited to 4 league appearances for Shels but nonetheless the Romanian striker showed glimpses of promise including scoring an equaliser for Shels in 1–1 friendly draw against English League 1 club Millwall. [4] He made his competitive Shelbourne debut on 18 July 2008 in a 0–0 draw against Dundalk at Tolka Park. [5] The striker joined Leinster Senior League Senior Division side Belgrove in early 2009 before he rejoined Shelbourne on 9 July 2009. [6] Georgescu's second spell at Shelbourne lasted just two weeks and included 1 league appearance as a substitute. Georgescu joined First Division outfit Athlone Town in August 2009 and he scored 2 goals in 13 league and cup appearances for them that season.

Georgescu rejoined former club Bray Wanderers on 28 January 2010 [7] but, after just 4 competitive appearances in his second spell, he parted ways with Bray in mid-season. In 2011 Franco retired from football and joined Dalkey United FC. He still coaches there now and he visits a number of schools around the dalkey area to teach them soccer.
