Born in Barreiro, Setúbal District, Soeiro signed for Sporting CP in 1933 from local Luso Futebol Clube. During his 12-year spell with the former club, he helped to the conquest of four Taça de Portugal trophies – the competition was known as Campeonato de Portugal until 1938 – and the 1940–41 edition of the Primeira Liga. Additionally, he was the latter tournament's top scorer in 1934–35 and 1936–37.[1]
Soeiro appeared in 219 games for Sporting in all competitions, scoring 206 goals.

Soeiro earned 12 caps for the Portugal national team in nine years.[2] He made his debut on 3 May 1932 in a friendly against Yugoslavia, netting once in the 3–2 win in Lisbon.[3]
Personal life
Soeiro's nephew, Manuel Vasques, was also a footballer. He too played for Sporting and Portugal.[4]
