When South Sudan gained independence from Sudan, his club, Hay Al Wadi SC, had difficulty extending Genaro's contract as he was now considered a foreign player. As a result, he signed a contract with Al-Kober, and was seconded to Al-Hilal.^[1]

He made his debut for South Sudan against Uganda on 10 July 2012.^[2]
