Geudert's early career is not well documented, but by 1921 he was playing for New York F.C. in the National Association Football League.^[1] In 1922, New York became a founding member of the American Soccer League, and Geudert established himself as a regular first-team goalkeeper.

In 1924, Geudert moved to the New York Giants, where he played for three seasons. During the 1925–26 season, he was loaned to the Brooklyn Wanderers for one match. In August 1927, Bethlehem Steel F.C. signed Geudert as a backup to Dave Edwards.^[2] When Edwards was injured in October, Geudert appeared in 13 games for the club.^[3]

In the fall of 1928, Geudert joined New York Celtic, where he concluded his professional playing career.
