Jason Geria

Geria was eligible to represent Uganda (as both of his parents had Ugandan nationality) and also the country of his birth, Australia. Prior to October 2024, he had only represented Australia in friendlies, so was still eligible to represent Uganda. Geria played for Australia numerous times at youth level, including participating in the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup, and the 2016 AFC U-23 Championship. Geria was first called up to the Socceroos by Ange Postecoglou (with whom he had played for at club level) in March 2016 for two 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification matches that month against Tajikistan and Jordan, but he didn't play any match. Geria was called up for the Socceroos for two home friendlies against Greece in June 2016, and played in the first match in a 1–0 win on 4 June. In October 2024, Geria was called up by Tony Popovic ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against China and Japan. On 10 October, he made his first international return after eight years in a 3–1 win over China. Geria was selected in the 2026 FIFA World Cup squad, which will be his first major tournament with the national team.

Youth

Geria's first youth club was Weston Creek SC in Canberra. He also played in Woden Valley's youth sides. Geria was a member of the Australian Institute of Sport football program before joining Brisbane Roar's youth team in 2011. He eventually became captain of the side in the National Youth League.

Melbourne Victory

On 29 November 2012, Geria was signed for Melbourne Victory by ex-Roar coach Ange Postecoglou. Despite often missing A-League games due to national youth team commitments, Geria became a regular first team player and was awarded the number 2 shirt, although it took him almost three years to score his first senior goal for the club, against Hume City in the 2015 FFA Cup Semi Final on 28 October 2015.

JEF United Chiba

In March 2018, Geria left Melbourne Victory and transferred to J2 League club JEF United Chiba for a $800,000 transfer fee.

Perth Glory

In March 2021, 3 months after leaving JEF United Chiba, Geria returned to Australia, joining A-League club Perth Glory on a contract for the remainder of the 2020–21 A-League season. In June 2021, he left Perth Glory at the conclusion of his contract.

Return to Melbourne Victory

In July 2021, Geria re-joined Melbourne Victory, ahead of the 2021–22 A-League season. Geria lifted the 2021 FFA Cup and was named in the 2022 PFA Team of the Year in 2022. Geria departed Victory in January 2025.
