He made his debut with the first team during the 2002–03 season, playing one minute in a 3–1 La Liga home win against Rayo Vallecano while still registered with the B side. He was not admitted as a full-time member of the main squad until 2005–06. Soriano spent the second halves of that and the following campaigns serving Segunda División loan stints, after which he returned to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, scoring twice in 24 appearances during the season, incidentally in both 1–0 victories over Getafe CF.

He made his official first-team debut on 28 October 2009, playing the dying minutes of the 2–0 win at Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey (7–0 on aggregate).

On 8 February 2005, as a half-time replacement for Alberto Zapater, Soriano scored four times for the under-21 team in a 14–0 thrashing of San Marino in El Ejido. He also took part on the Catalan representative side, scoring their goal in a draw with Paraguay at the Camp Nou on 28 December 2005.
