André Tiago Carneiro Soares (born 5 March 1990) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Vilaverdense FC as a forward.

Club career

Born in Vieira do Minho, Braga District, Soares started playing football with local Vieira S.C. at age 10. He finished his development with S.L. Benfica, having signed in 2004.[1]

Subsequently, Benfica offered Soares a professional contract and loaned him to A.D. Carregado, who were having their first-ever experience in the Segunda Liga.[2] He made his professional debut on 15 November, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 away loss against C.D. Feirense;[3] in the same predicament, he moved to third division club Atlético Clube de Portugal for the second part of the season.[4]

In June 2010, still owned by the Eagles, Soares joined Servette FC from the Swiss Challenge League.[5] He reunited with former Benfica youth coach João Alves, being sparingly used during the campaign.[6]

On 31 August 2011, free agent Soares moved to C.S. Marítimo.[7] He appeared solely for the reserve team during his tenure, notably helping them win promotion to the second level in 2012.[8]

Subsequently, Soares continued to compete in division three, with F.C. Famalicão and Vilaverdense FC.[1][9] He had a brief return to the second tier in June 2015 after signing with Gil Vicente FC, who described him as a "technically gifted player",[10] but returned to his previous club only six months later.[11][12]

International career

Soares helped the Portuguese under-16 side reach the final of the Val-de-Marne Tournament in October 2005.[13][14] He also appeared for the nation during the qualifying stage for the 2007 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.
