Club career
[edit]Roda JC
[edit]Souren was born in Rotterdam, but grew up in his mother's hometown of Eijsden after his parents divorced.[2] After having played one season for local club VV Eijsden, he progressed through the Roda JC academy.[3] In the second half of the 2017–18 Eredivisie season, he was included in the matchday squad of the first team on several occasions, but did not yet make his debut.[4] He signed a contract with the club until 2020 on 21 March 2018.[5] At the end of the season, Roda suffered relegation to the Eerste Divisie.[6]
He made his Eerste Divisie debut for Roda on 14 October 2018, starting in a 3–0 away loss to Go Ahead Eagles.[7][8] On 30 November 2018, Souren scored his first goal, volleying home in a 5–0 away win over TOP Oss.[9]
Souren made a total of 60 appearances for Roda between 2017 and 2021, scoring twice.[4]
MVV
[edit]On 25 August 2021, Souren signed a one-year contract with an option for an additional year with MVV,[10] making the move alongside teammate Mart Remans.[11] He made his debut for the club two days later, starting in a 5–0 away loss to Volendam.[12] He impressed during his first season with MVV and grew into an key player in midfield, extending his contract with the club by another season on 29 April 2022.[13]
Souren scored his first goal for MVV on 29 August 2022 in a 2–2 away draw against Heracles Almelo.[14]
Cambuur
[edit]On 28 May 2024, Cambuur announced an agreement for the signing of Souren on a three-year deal, to be effective as of 1 July 2024.[15] At Cambuur, Souren was set to work with head coach Henk de Jong, which reminded him of his late grandfather's words: "My grandfather was often here and always said, 'You need to work with Henk de Jong at Cambuur.' When Cambuur approached me, I found that very special."[16]
International career
[edit]Souren made his international debut on 13 March 2015 for the Netherlands under-16 team, starting in a 4–0 friendly win over Republic of Ireland.[17] He gained three caps at under-16 level.[18] In December 2015, he was called up for Netherlands under-17 friendlies but was ruled out due to injury.[19] He made a total of five appearances for the Netherlands youth national sides.[20]
