Geiser joined FC Basel's first team in their 1955–56 season under trainer Béla Sárosi. After playing in one test match, Geiser played his domestic league debut for the club in the home game at the Landhof on 10 June 1956 as Basel won 9–1 against FC Fribourg.[1] He scored his only goal for the club one week later in the away game against La Chaux-de-Fonds. But this goal could not save the team from a 2–6 defeat.[2]
Geiser played two season for Basel in six games scoring that one goal. Two of these games were in the Nationalliga A, and the other four were friendly games.[3]
After his time with FC Basel, Geiser moved on to play for FC Nordstern Basel, who at that time played in the Nationalliga B (second tier of Swiss football). One year later he moved on again and signed for Servette, where he stayed at least one season. Geiser lived in Geneva until he died on 20 September 2016.
