She played for clubs including Umeå IK, Tyresö FF and KIF Örebro DFF of the Damallsvenskan, as well as Avaldsnes IL of the Norwegian Toppserien.

Club career
[edit]At the end of the 2006 season, Everton FC supporter Söberg left Mallbackens IF for reigning league champions Umeå IK.[5]
Tyresö won the Damallsvenskan title for the first time in the 2012 season and Söberg collected her third league winner's medal, in addition to two won with Umeå.[6] Despite the arrival of Tinja-Riikka Korpela, Söberg retained her place and played in Tyresö's 4–3 defeat by Wolfsburg in the 2014 UEFA Women's Champions League Final.[7] When Tyresö FF folded during the 2014 Damallsvenskan season, Söberg signed for Avaldsnes IL of the Norwegian Toppserien.[8]
After the expiry of her six-month contract in Norway, Söberg returned to Sweden with KIF Örebro DFF.[9] She retired from playing after the 2017 Damallsvenskan season, then took a coaching role with Örebro's under-19 team and began working as an agent.[10]
