Thomas James Soares (born 10 July 1986) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder. He has previously played for Crystal Palace, Stoke City, Bury, AFC Wimbledon and Stevenage.
Back at Stoke, he failed to make a Premier League appearance in the 2009–10 season. On 26 November 2009 Soares joined Sheffield Wednesday, initially on a month-long loan deal, but he remained there until the end of the season. As with Charlton, Soares was part of a team who were relegated from the Championship. His misery was compounded by it coming at the hands of former club Crystal Palace, who stayed up at Wednesday's expense. Soares had now been relegated three times in his short career. In March 2011, Soares played for Stoke for the first time in almost 18 months, against Cardiff City in the FA Cup. Soares again failed to make a single Premier League appearance for Stoke during the 2010–11 and 2011–12 seasons. His last league appearance for Stoke was in December 2008.
On 23 January 2012, Soares joined Scottish Premier League club Hibernian on loan until the end of the 2011–12 season. He scored two goals in a 3–1 win against Kilmarnock on 25 February.
He was released by Stoke at the end of the 2011–12 season.
On 16 August 2012, it was reported by The News that Soares was training with Portsmouth.
In July 2021, Soares joined Southern Football League side Dorchester Town, where he went on to make 25 league appearances.
