Career
editWest Bromwich Albion
editSoule joined West Bromwich Albion as an eight-year-old and progressed throughout Albion's youth system withholding bundles of interest from top clubs in England and Europe. The baggies finally secured Soule's signature as he signed his first professional contract at the age of 17 before continuing to progress at Premier League 2 level. He then agreed a further 2+1⁄2-year contract 2 years later in the winter of 2019 which came after a significant display in the FA Youth Cup in which he rallied a total of 6 goals and 1 assists in 5 games. Soule was assigned the 32 jersey for the Baggies' 2020-21 season. In June 2022, Soule was released by West Bromwich Albion.
Barrow A.F.C. (loan)
editOn 12 February 2020, Soule joined Barrow A.F.C. on a one-month loan deal,[3] making two substitute appearances for the Cumbrian side. Soule was spoken highly of by manager Ian Evatt. Due to the COVID pandemic, Soule had to return to the Hawthorns and was unable to rejoin Barrow due to the season ending early.
Lincoln City (loan)
editOn 6 October 2020, it was announced that he had joined Lincoln City on a short-term loan deal.[4] He made his debut the same evening in an EFL Trophy game against Mansfield, and scored the opening goal on his official debut.[5] Due to the teams momentum in the league he had to endure patience and would finally make his first league appearance coming off the bench against Doncaster Rovers on 31 October 2020.[6] He would only make the two outings for Lincoln City before suffering a muscle injury keeping him out until the new year.
Cheltenham Town (loan)
editOn 31 January 2022, Soule joined League One side Cheltenham Town on loan until the end of the 2021–22 season.[7]
