Geraint moved to Swansea for a while, only to return to Pontypridd for another spell in the year 2001.
His stay proved to be a short one, departing to join newly promoted Rotherham Titans in the English premier division in the summer of 2003, before moving on to Bath in the Autumn of 2004.
Joining Bristol in 2005, Geraint made a welcome return to Sardis Road in readiness for the 2007 – 2008 campaign.

A spell as coach with Aberdare followed, with Geraint moving to Ebbw Vale in June 2013. His tenure at Eugene Cross Park was shortlived as in the following November Geraint was appointed as forwards coach by Pontypridd in the wake of Dale McIntosh’s departure.
Following a successful season at Sardis Road Geraint moved on to take up a full time post with the WRU as a skills coach.
Geraint then re-joined Pontypridd RFC’s Coaching Team in April 2023 before leaving his role with the Club in February 2024.
