Dennis Geiger (born 10 June 1998, age 28) is a German central and defensive midfielder now with NEC Nijmegen. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career has been shaped above all by 1899 Hoffenheim. Early loan football formed part of his development, but Hoffenheim was where he became a Bundesliga regular, making 125 league appearances and scoring six goals across eight seasons. His most productive league campaign came in 2017-18, when he scored twice in 21 appearances.
Geiger’s game has been built around midfield control rather than headline numbers, which is usually how it goes for players in his position. At Hoffenheim he was a long-serving first-team presence rather than a passing visitor, and that spell remains the substantial part of his senior career.
At NEC Nijmegen in 2026-27, he has made eight appearances across all competitions, including five in the Eredivisie and three in the Europa League. It is a career still led by the Hoffenheim years, with NEC now the next stage for a midfielder who has spent most of his senior football in Germany.
