Career
Georgiou qualified for the main tour by winning the 2007 IBSF World Under-21 Snooker Championship in India. Georgiou spent the next two seasons competing in the PIOS series then decided to give up snooker and started a career in recruitment. He commented: "I was doing a 9-to-5 job, sitting behind a desk.
But I always kept an eye on snooker and when I saw how the sport had changed and the opportunities that are there now, I decided to give it another try".
Georgiou returned to serious action in 2013 as he entered the Q School, his best run coming at the second event where he defeated Dessie Sheehan and Darren Bond, before losing to eventual qualifier Ahmed Saif. Georgiou continued to enter European Tour events as an amateur during the 2013/14 season, while also participating in the EBSA Qualifying Tour where he reached final of one of the tournaments to qualify for the play-offs.
There Georgiou was beaten to the two-year tour card by Zak Surety. However he was more successful in the Q School where, after losing early in Event 1, he went all the way in Event 2 by defeating Adam Wicheard, Gareth Green, Sean O"Sullivan, Jordan Brown and in the final round Ashley Carty to confirm his return to the main tour for the 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 seasons.
Georgiou started his comeback season in the best possible way as he whitewashed Aditya Mehta 5–0 to qualify for the venue stages of the 2014 Wuxi Classic, where he beat Marcus Campbell 5–2, before losing 5–3 to Neil Robertson.
He lost 5–3 against Alfie Burden. Georgiou"s best form came at the Welsh Open where he defeated Peter Lincolnshire 4–1, Lee Walker 4–2 and Dott 4–3 to reach the last 16 of a ranking event for the first time.
