Born on the 7th of May 1998, Ismaila Soro hails from the Ivory Coast and is known for his abilities as a central defensive midfielder. At the moment, he plies his trade for Beitar Jerusalem. Standing at a notable 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 metres) in height, Soro carries his 11 stone 13 pounds (76 kilograms) frame with an admirable athleticism, impressive strength, and unmistakable presence on the pitch.
Soro's career took off in earnest in September 2016 when he joined up with Saxan in the Moldovan Divizia Naţională. Proving himself to be a crucial addition to the team, he made 22 first-team appearances in league matches during his debut season.
By July 2017, our Ivorian challenger made his move from Saxan to Gomel, in the Belarus Premier League. His maiden season at Gomel saw him take to the field for 15 first team league appearances.
Come January 2018, Soro was on the move once more, this time to Bnei Yehuda in the Liga Leumit, Israel's football league. He wouldn't be settling here for a single season as his stints in Saxan and Gomel; over the course of three seasons (2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020), he made 53 first-team appearances in league matches.
January 2020 served as a landmark month for Soro, as he swapped Bnei Yehuda for the grandeur of Celtic Football Club in Scotland's Premiership. The move reportedly cost Celtic an acceptable sum of around £2 million. Here, possibly under the weight of that fee, he delivered a return of 1 goal in 19 first-team league appearances in the 2020-2021 season. The subsequent season saw him step onto the turf for eight first team games.
In July 2022, Soro once again packed his bags, charting a course from Celtic to Arouca in Liga Portugal, albeit on loan. During the 2022-2023 season, he made 26 first team appearances while on loan at the Portuguese side.
September 2023 marked the end of his Celtic tenure, as he transferred permanently to Beitar Jerusalem in the Israeli Premier League. Fast forward to the 2024-2025 season, Soro had 24 first team appearances and one goal to his name while at Beitar Jerusalem.
