Soares' career began as a trainee right-back at his home town club, Reading, who also allowed him to make a loan spell to Tamworth, where he made six appearances (including five starts). At Reading, Soares was tutored by his club captain, Graeme Murty, as he was the senior right back at the club.
At the end of the 2004–05 season, Soares was released by Reading, and eventually signed for Barnet. He was granted a contract extension in January 2006[1] where he made 25 appearances, scoring once in the whole of the 2005–06 season. Despite this, Barnet allowed him to leave at the end of that season, whereupon he joined Aldershot.
On 21 July 2010 Soares signed a pre contract agreement with Southend United[2] and his registration was completed when the club's transfer embargo was lifted on 6 August 2010. Soares scored his first goal for the club on 5 October 2010 in a 3–1 win over Barnet in the Football League Trophy. In May 2011 he was one of five players told they were to be released by the club.[3]
In 2010 he left the Shots to join Southend United, going on to make 32 appearances before being released in the summer, subsequently joining Hayes & Yeading. Since then, he has made 27 appearances and scored 13 goals.
Soares was called up by Barbados for the 2007 Caribbean Nations Cup tournament, and became the first Aldershot player, whilst playing for the club, to be capped when he played against Trinidad and Tobago on 12 January 2007.
His brother, Tom is also a footballer, who plays for Premier League side Stoke City.
