Club career

[edit]

Sevilla

[edit]

Born in Benacazón, Province of Seville, Andalusia, Soriano joined Sevilla FC's youth setup in 2009 at the age of 12, from Real Betis.[1] He was called up by first-team manager Unai Emery during the 2014–15 campaign,[2] and appeared as a substitute in a 2–0 home win against Feyenoord in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.[3]

Soriano renewed his contract on 13 May 2016, until 2019.[4] He made his professional debut on 21 August, starting in the 3–3 Segunda División home draw with Girona FC.[5]

On 5 July 2018, Soriano agreed to an extension until 2022 and was promoted to the main squad in La Liga.[6] Benefitting from injury to starter Tomáš Vaclík, he played his first match in the competition on 10 March 2019 in a 5–2 home rout of Real Sociedad.[7]

On 5 July 2019, Soriano was loaned to fellow top-tier side CD Leganés for one year.[8] On 28 September of the following year, he moved to Málaga CF in the second division, also in a temporary deal.[9]

Tenerife

[edit]

Soriano joined CD Tenerife as a free agent on 17 June 2021, on a three-year deal.[10] An undisputed starter during his spell at the club, he left in June 2024 after his link expired.[11]

Leganés return

[edit]

On 2 July 2024, Soriano returned to Leganés after agreeing to a three-year contract, with the team now in the top tier.[12]
