At the age of 16, he was playing regularly for Chelsea's under-23 squad, and was seen as one of Chelsea's best young players.

On 22 August 2024, following a successful season in Premier League 2, Soonsup-Bell joined Segunda División club Córdoba. [14]
On 3 February 2025, Soonsup-Bell was loaned to Atlético Sanluqueño in the third tier until the end of the season. [15] On 30 March, he scored his first senior goal in a 4-2 victory over Antequera CF. [16] On 25 July, he terminated his contract with Córdoba. [17]
On 11 August 2025, Soonsup-Bell joined Grimsby Town on a one-year deal, with an option for a further year. [18]
Eligible to represent both England and Thailand, through his Thai grandfather, Soonsup-Bell has played for England at under-15, under-16, under-18 and under-19 level. [2] [5] He is the second highest goal-scorer for the England U16s, behind Jadon Sancho, with six goals in seven appearances. [7]
