NPL NSW

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

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]
