In 1993, Suarez entered UNC Chapel Hill, where he played on the Tar Heels men's soccer team from 1993 to 1996. Suarez was the 1993 Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Year and a 1994 second team All American. He finished his four years at UNC with 47 career goals.^[1]

In 1997, Long Island Rough Riders of the second division USISL selected Suarez in the first round (third overall) of the USISL Territorial Draft.^[2] However, the Dallas Burn of first division Major League Soccer also chose Suarez in the first round (sixth overall) of the 1997 College Draft. Suarez signed with the Burn, spending three seasons with them. While with the Burn, Suarez went on loan several times to teams in the USISL. The Burn released following the 1999 season.

In 2000, he joined his hometown club Charleston Battery of the USL A-League for one season. That fall, he moved indoors with the Cleveland Crunch of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL). In 2001, the NPSL was renamed the Major Indoor Soccer League. He would play two season with the Crunch until it folded and became the Force in 2002. In August 2002, the Milwaukee Wave selected Suarez the first round (ninth overall) in the MISL dispersal draft, but he chose to concentrate on his outdoor career.^[3] In 2001, Suarez left the Battery and joined the Connecticut Wolves for one season.^[4] He then moved to the Rochester Raging Rhinos for the 2002 and 2003 seasons and the Syracuse Salty Dogs in 2004.^[5] He retired from playing professionally following the 2004 season.

Futsal

Suarez earned seven caps with the United States national futsal team between 1999 and 2000 as the team prepared for the FIFA Futsal World Cup. However, the U.S. failed to qualify.^[6]
