Club career[]

After spending his youth years in Norwegian side Viking FK, he transferred to Häcken in his home country in 2006.

The club has secured an option to buy the player after the 2014 season.^[3] On March 25, 2015 he returned to BK Häcken.

International career[]

On 20 January 2010, Söderberg made his full international debut for the Sweden national team in a friendly game against Oman.^[4] He played the entire 90 minutes as a centre back alongside Per Karlsson in a game that ended 1–0 in Sweden's favor after a 35th-minute goal from Anders Svensson.^[5] This turned out to be Söderberg's sole international appearance for Sweden.^[4]
