Club career edit

Born in Mbao, Pikine Department, Souaré spent his early career with Diambars, Lille II, Lille and Reims.[2][4][5]

He moved to Crystal Palace on a three-and-a half-year deal in January 2015 for an undisclosed fee,[6] reported as £3.45 million.[7] He made his Palace debut on 14 February in the fifth round of the FA Cup, a 2–1 home loss to Liverpool, and was described by Dominic Fifield of The Observer as looking "rusty and susceptible".[7]

On 22 January 2016, it was announced that Souaré had signed a new three-and-a half-year contract with Palace.[8] He was sent off on 13 February at the end of a 2–1 loss to Watford at Selhurst Park, for fouling Valon Behrami.[9]

After over a year out of football following a car crash, Souaré made his first appearance on 19 September 2017 in a 1–0 home win over Huddersfield Town in the third round of the EFL Cup. He was praised for his performance by manager Roy Hodgson.[10]

In August 2019, after his contract with Crystal Palace expired, Souaré joined French Ligue 2 club Troyes on a one-season contract with an option of a further 12 months.[11]

In July 2021, having made no appearances for Troyes in the previous season,[12] Souaré trained with the Crystal Palace under-23 squad, with a view to maintain fitness, and appeared in pre-season matches for the side.[13][14]

On 6 September 2021, Souaré returned to England to join League One club Charlton Athletic on a one-year deal.[15][16] On 10 May 2022, it was confirmed that Souaré would leave Charlton Athletic when his contract expired at the end of the season.[17]

On 17 March 2023, Souaré joined League One club Morecambe on a contract until the end of the season.[18][19] He was released by the club at the end of the season.[20]

On 17 July 2023, Motherwell announced the signing of Souaré on a six-month contract.[21] He left the club on 1 January 2024 following the expiry of his contract.[22][23]

International career edit

Souaré made his international debut for Senegal on 29 February 2012, in a goalless friendly draw against South Africa at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.[2][24] He later competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics,[25][26] and was a squad member at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.[27] He scored his first international goal from a 20-yard free kick on 29 March 2016 as the Lions de Teranga won 2–1 away to Niger in 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.[28] Following his car crash, he returned to the national team in March 2018.[29]

He was not included in Senegal's squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[30]

Personal life edit

On 11 September 2016, Souaré was airlifted to hospital after being involved in a road accident on the M4. He sustained injuries to his thigh and jawbone.[31] It was thought that he would be out for six months,[32] although he returned to training after 11 months.[33][34]
