Alexandre 'Alex' Miguel Barros Soares (born 1 March 1991) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Cypriot club AC Omonia as a midfielder.
Football career
Born in Lisbon, Soares played youth football with four local clubs, including S.L. Benfica from ages 10–16. He made his senior debuts with C.F. Esperança de Lagos, in the fourth division.
In January 2012, after a brief unassuming spell in Greece with Panserraikos FC, Soares returned to his country, joining C.S. Marítimo and being assigned to the reserves in the third level. Two years later, manager Pedro Martins promoted him to the first team.[1]
Soares made his Primeira Liga debut on 18 August 2013, starting and being booked in a 2–1 home win against former team Benfica.[2] He scored his first goal in the competition on 24 November of that year, helping the hosts defeat Gil Vicente F.C. 3–2.[3]
On 3 July 2017, after an average of 23 league appearances at the Estádio do Marítimo, Soares moved abroad again and signed a two-year contract with Cypriot First Division club AC Omonia.[4]
