Biography

Forbes halfback, captain of the 1986 Australian Schoolboys, hovered between the grades at Norths before cementing a first grade spot at hooker. The advent of the ten-metre defensive rule in 1994 seemed tailor-made to Soden's nippiness around the rucks and his great form kept former captain Tony Rea in reserve grade during the Bears' semi-final campaign that year. Soden was a mainstay in Norths’ forays into semi-final football in the late 1990s but returned to the Manly district competition (Belrose) when he missed a place with the merged N’Eagles club in 2000.
