[4] Soldo was introduced to club officials the previous Christmas as a future prospect by cousin and Richmond ruck Ivan Maric.

[3] Soldo played his first Australian rules football match in late July 2014, with the Northern Knights and against the Gippsland Power in Morwell.

[23] In early May assistant coach Xavier Clarke said Soldo was "starting to become a really dominant ruckman" at VFL level after a game in which he recorded 38 hitouts, 10 disposals and five inside 50s.

[24] He was named as an AFL emergency on a league-leading 12 occasions over the first 15 weeks of the season, including in rounds 8 and 9 when the club's leading ruck Toby Nankervis was dealing with a minor wrist injury and considered in some doubt to play.

[30][31] He recorded a match-high 34 hitouts and earned the praise of senior coach Damien Hardwick for his performance in that match, but was ultimately omitted from the side upon Nankvervis' return the following week.

[36][13] Soldo spent the 2018/19 off-season preparing for the possibility of playing AFL football alongside Richmond's lead ruck Toby Nankervis.

[39] In the final pre-season match Soldo played a reduced role, relegated to third-string ruck behind Nankervis and the yet-to-debut tall utility Noah Balta.

[40] He was ultimately unable to gain AFL selection in round 1, with numerous media outlets attributing this largely to his poor positional versatility.

[44] An injury to Nankervis in mid-May saw him likely to miss six-to-eight weeks of football and saw Soldo called in for his first AFL match of the season, a round 9 win over Hawthorn in which he managed 35 hitouts.

[56][57] So impressive were his performances over that span, Soldo held his spot for the club's qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions despite Nankervis' return to the team.

[58] In his first time sharing ruck duties with Nankervis that season, Soldo bested his partner with 25 hitouts and seven disposals as Richmond won through to a home preliminary final against Geelong.

[20][62] In the grand final, Soldo had 20 hitouts, seven disposals and kicked a goal as Richmond defeated Greater Western Sydney by 89 points.

[13] During the 2019/20 off-season, Soldo received a Richmond life membership for his role in the club's 2019 premiership and adopted the number 20 guernsey last worn by his cousin and ruck mentor Ivan Maric.

[77][78] Soldo played as the sole Richmond ruck when the season resumed after an 11-week hiatus, notching 23 hitouts in an early-June draw with Collingwood after beating out Nankervis for selection to the round 2 team.

[13][89][90] Soldo set new career highs in disposals (17) and intercepts (nine) in that match, while another 19 hit outs saw him ranked seventh in the league for total hitouts that year.

[90] He went on to share ruck duties with his teammate when Nankervis returned from injury the following week, and both held their spots into the club's round 17 match-up with Geelong.
