Bruno Soriano height - How tall is Bruno Soriano?

Soriano spent the entire 2017–18, 2018–19 and 2019–20 seasons on the sidelines, due to a knee injury.

On 17 May 2016, Soriano was included in a provisional squad of 25 for the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament, and also made the final list. He made his debut in the competition on 17 June at the age of 32, coming on as a 64th-minute substitute for David Silva in a 3–0 group stage win against Turkey at the Allianz Riviera.

On 31 December 2015, Soriano netted through a superbly taken free kick to help defeat Valencia 1–0 at the Estadio El Madrigal. The following matchday, he scored both of his team's goals in 2–1 away win against Deportivo de La Coruña, the second coming through an injury-time penalty.

In the 2012 off-season, shortly after suffering relegation, Soriano received a €9 million offer from neighbouring Valencia CF, which he rejected in order to stay and help achieve promotion, also signing a new four-year contract until 2020. In 2013–14, with Villarreal back in the top flight, he scored a career-best six goals – three through penalty kicks – to help his team finish in sixth position and qualify to the Europa League.

Soriano made his debut for Spain in 2010, and represented the nation at Euro 2016.

On 5 August 2010, Vicente del Bosque named Soriano as one of the three new players for the Spanish team after the victorious FIFA World Cup in South Africa, for a friendly with Mexico. He made his debut on the 11th, playing 61 minutes in the 1–1 draw in Mexico City.

In 2009–10, Soriano became an automatic first-choice for Villarreal, finally winning the battle for starting duties over Uruguayan Sebastián Eguren. He only missed one game in 38 in the following campaign, with the club finishing fourth and returning to the UEFA Champions League.

Soriano made a permanent switch to the main squad in 2007–08, and was a regular fixture in the side's callups throughout the season, though not an undisputed starter. On 14 November 2007 he scored his first professional goal, in a 4–2 win at UD Las Palmas for the Copa del Rey; he had the same status in the following year as the Yellow Submarine qualified for the UEFA Europa League, in fifth place.

He spent his entire career with Villarreal since making his first appearance with the first team in 2006, and played over 400 official games for them.

Born in Artana, Castellón, Valencian Community, Soriano was a product of Villarreal CF's youth system. He made his debut for the first team on 15 July 2006 in a 1–2 home loss to NK Maribor for the UEFA Intertoto Cup and, on 1 October, his La Liga bow in a 2–1 away win against RCD Mallorca; his first appearances as a senior were made with the reserve side, which operated in Tercera División.
