Club McGoldrick was instrumental in the Eoghan Rua side that won both the 2006
Derry Intermediate and
Ulster Intermediate Championships, before losing out in the 2007
All-Ireland Intermediate Club Championship final to
Ardfert of
Kerry.
Inter-county McGoldrick was part of the Derry
Under-21 team that finished runners-up in both the 2006 and 2008
Ulster Under-21 Football Championship finals to
Tyrone and
Down respectively. He was part of the Derry
Senior panel that won the
2008 National League where Derry beat
Kerry in the final. McGoldrick and Derry also reached the National League final in
2009, but were defeated by Kerry. In that campaign he mostly played at
left half back, as opposed to his usual role in the forward line. McGoldrick retired from inter-county football in 2016 but manager
Damian McErlain convinced him to return for the
2018 Ulster Senior Football Championship encounter with
Donegal; McGoldrick retired again in October 2018.
School/college McGoldrick also plays for
Queen's University Belfast since 200x. The university finished runners-up to
Donegal in the 2009
Dr. McKenna Cup. ==Hurling career==
