Carles Soria Grau (born 8 October 1996) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right back for Super League Greece club PAS Giannina.
Born in Calaf, Barcelona, Catalonia, Soria joined RCD Espanyol's youth setup in 2009, from Club Gimnàstic Manresa. On 4 June 2015, after finishing his graduation, he was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.[1]
Soria made his senior debut on 23 August 2015, replacing Adrián Dalmau in a 1–0 victory against UE Lleida. His first senior goal came the following 14 February, netting his team's only in a 1–3 home loss CD Atlético Baleares.[2]
On 4 April 2016, Soria's contract was extended until the end of 2018.[3] On 1 June 2017, he moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing a two-year deal with Cypriot First Division club AEK Larnaca FC.[4]
Soria made his professional debut on 20 December 2017, coming on as a late substitute for compatriot Joan Tomàs in a 0–0 draw at AEL Limassol. His first goal for the club occurred on 13 May of the following year, in a 3–2 home defeat of the same opponent; late in the month, however, he was released by the club.[5]
On 21 June 2018, Soria returned to Espanyol and its B-team, signing a two-year contract.[6]
In summer 2022 he moved to PAS Giannina in Super League Greece.[7] [8]
