[3][4] Softić had a successful time with Cork City's youth teams and that caught the eye of the senior manager who signed him as a full-time pro at the age of 17.
He made a handful of appearances for the first team during his time at Cork, which included three Champions League qualifier games against Apollon Limassol and Red Star Belgrade respectively.
He only made a sub appearance against Apollon in Cyprus, while he played full 90 minutes against Red Star in both legs of the qualifiers.
After the season, he parted ways with the club and moved to Denmark where he was playing for Kolding FC, until January 2010.
[citation needed] He then spent the next years in German lower league football, most prominently with fourth tier side TuS Koblenz.
