Jonathan Soriano
Jonathan Soriano Casas (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈɟʝonatan soˈɾjano ˈkasas]; born 24 September 1985) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a striker.
He spent his early career with Espanyol and Barcelona, mostly with the respective reserve teams. In January 2012 he moved to Red Bull Salzburg, where he won four league and cup doubles, also finishing as the Austrian Football Bundesliga's top scorer three times; he totalled 172 goals in 202 matches for the latter club.
Soriano earned 25 caps for Spain at youth level, scoring 27 times. He also played for Catalonia.
Born in El Pont de Vilomara i Rocafort, Barcelona, Catalonia, Soriano emerged through RCD Espanyol's youth ranks. 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.
In late January 2009, Soriano moved again on loan (and in the second tier), joining Albacete Balompié until the end of the campaign and being released by Espanyol after this spell, his contract not having been renewed.
On 30 July 2009, Soriano joined FC Barcelona's reserves in Segunda División B. 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). In the league, he ranked amongst the season's top scorers as the team returned to the second division after an 11-year absence.
Soriano fared even better in 2010–11, netting 32 times as Barcelona B finished in the promotion play-offs zone, being however ineligible for contention. This tally gave him the division's Pichichi Trophy, and in the process he eclipsed the club's previous record for most goals by a player in a single season, which was 15 by Martín Domínguez in 1987–88. His performances caught the eyes of Real Betis, and his failure to get a contract with Barcelona was compared to the success of 2. Bundesliga top scorer Nils Petersen in signing for FC Bayern Munich.
