In 2001 Geva became the youngest player to represent England at senior level, aged just 16. She has been involved in the England set-up ever since playing at both the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games and at the 2003 World Championships.

She collected international medals with England in both 2005 and 2006 – the former was a silver medal with England under-21s at the World Youth Championships in Florida and the latter a bronze medal with the England senior side at the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games.

Geva played for TeamBath in all but one of its Super Cup campaigns – including in 2004 when the team won the competition.

In 2005 she was part of the England under-21 squad that used the competition as a warm-up for the World Youth Championships. She was a member of the TeamBath team that won the inaugural Superleague in 2006.
