Club career
Born in Elvas, Alentejo, Soares signed with S.L. Benfica in 1990 to compete his formation, from local O Elvas CAD. He served mainly as backup to the main squad during his spell, also being loaned to F.C. Alverca which acted as the farm team.
Soares made his Primeira Liga debut on 1 February 1998, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 home win against Vitória de Setúbal. Benfica loaned him several times for the duration of his contract, including to S.C. Campomaiorense where he man-marked Mário Jardel out of the game in a surprising 1–0 victory over FC Porto on 19 February 2000, which led to suspension for both players due to on-pitch altercations. After being released he represented various clubs, in France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, India and Spain, ending his career in 2010 at the age of 34.
International career
Soares was part of the Portuguese squad in the 1995 FIFA World Youth Championship, partnering Sporting Clube de Portugal's Beto as the nation finished in third position in Qatar.
