Career

Goulding first played hurling to a high standard as a student at Causeway Comprehensive school. He scored a vital goal when the school's under-16 team beat Roscrea Vocational School to claim the Munster Vocational JAHC title in 2012.[1] Goulding later lined out with University of Limerick and was a substitute for their Fitzgibbon Cup success in 2018.[2][3]

After progressing through the juvenile and underage ranks with the Ballyduff club, Goulding made his senior team debut in 2014.[4] He won a Kerry SHC medal after a 4-13 to 1-19 defeat of Lixnaw in the 2017 final replay.[5] Goulding continued his club career after moving to London in 2020. With the Fulham Irish club he has won London SFC medals in 2020 and 2023.[6][7] Goulding also won a London SHC medal with St Gabriel's in 2022.[8]

Goulding first appeared on the inter-county scene for Kerry as a dual player at minor level. He won back-to-back All-Ireland MBHC medals in 2014 and 2015, while he was also a member of the extended minor football panel that beat Tipperary by 4-14 to 0-06 to win the All-Ireland MFC title in 2015.[9][10][11] Goulding ended his underage inter-county tenure by winning an All-Ireland U21BHC medal in 2017, before becoming ineligible for the grade in 2018.[12]

Goulding made his senior team debut in 2016.[13] He later declared for London and made his first appearances for them in the 2022 National Hurling League.[14]
