Youth

[edit]

[3]

Hailing from the Penrith area, he played for Emu Plains FC from their Under-sixes through to the Under-11s. Picked as a representative player for the Penrith Panthers' youth team, he played in their Under-12, Under-13 and Under-14 teams. Next he moved to Bankstown City FC, featuring in their Under-15 side and was even selected for their squad travelling to Spain where they played opposition such as Real Madrid Youth. Later, he joined Blacktown City FC, performing with their Under-16, Under-17 and Under-18 sides.

Career

[edit]

NPL NSW

[edit]

Mostly known for being a proficient goal-scorer with Sydney Wanderers FC, he scored 21 goals in 47 appearances in two seasons, claiming the 2007 Player of the Year and top scorer of his club.[3] Well-traveled coach John Stewart Porter acknowledged his shooting ability stating that he 'had a tremendous hot' and that 'he has very impressive physique, works very hard at all aspects of the game, and can play well anywhere up front'.[3] Soane returned to his youth club Blacktown Spartans FC in 2014 and was one of six players from the Penrith and Blue Mountains area.[4]

S.League

[edit]

Quitting his job to play professionally in the S.League with Balestier Khalsa FC, he began a meticulous daily training routine.[5] Aiming to play in the A-League, the Australian top division, he saw the S.League as a stepping-stone to that target,[6] quitting Balestier a month before the expiry of his contract in June 2009[7] after claiming 'mistreatment' form the club.[8]
