Contents

Raised in Cooks Hill, New South Wales, Goodwin started his career with Newcastle Jets, for whom he made his professional debut, aged 16, in February 2021, becoming the club's youngest debutant. He also became their youngest goalscorer when he scored his first goal in June 2021, helping them avoid the wooden spoon. For the forthcoming seasons, Goodwin would be plagued by injuries, missing the majority of matches in the 2021–22, 2022–23 and 2023–24 season for Newcastle United. He signed for Adelaide United in June 2024.

An Australian international, Goodwin has played for the Australia national team at youth level.

Early life

Goodwin was born on 7 November 2004 in Newcastle, New South Wales. [4] Raised in Cooks Hill, Goodwin began playing football with Cooks Hill United at the age of five, spending three years with the club, before being signed by Newcastle Jets in their under 9s. [5] He later resided in Hamilton East [6] and attended Newcastle High School. [7] However, in the year of his Higher School Certificate exam, Goodwin began focussing full-time on football. [8] Goodwin supported Newcastle Jets and Premier League club Liverpool while growing up. He takes inspiration from Craig Johnston for his resolute personality. [9]

Club career

Newcastle Jets

Since joining the under-9s, Goodwin has experienced numerous injuries during his time in the youth age groups of Newcastle Jets. [10] He played only eight months of football in three years after breaking each of his feet three times. [11] Doctors conclude it to be the result of growth spurts. [12] However, by the end of the under-15s season in 2019, Goodwin scored 29 goals in 12 matches despite the injuries he faced during the season. [13] He was called up to the National Premier Leagues squad the following year, making one goal in eight appearances in his first season. [14] Goodwin eventually began training with the first-team in May 2020, after their return to football from the COVID-19 pandemic. [13] [note 1] Goodwin made his professional debut as a substitute on 21 February 2021 in a 1–0 league win over Melbourne Victory, [16] becoming the youngest debutant for Newcastle Jets at the age of 16 years and 106 days. [6] He scored his first goal for the club on 10 June 2021, netting the second goal from 25-yards in a 2–1 victory against Melbourne City at the Netstrata Jubilee Stadium. [17] Aged 16 years and 151 days, he became the club's youngest goalscorer, helping them finish above last place in the 2020–21 A-League season. [18] [19] Goodwin was awarded the club's A-League Rising Star following the match. [20]

During pre-season ahead of the 2021–22 A-League season, Goodwin was ruled out due to continuous joint pains in his knees resulted from intensive training and growing pains. [21] He missed the first 16 matches of the campaign during which he underwent rehabilitation until he was able to cope in training. [8] On his return to training, Goodwin played in the National Premier Leagues NSW 4 for the youth team. [22] He scored four goals on 21 March 2022 in an 8–0 win against Fraser Park, taking his tally to a total of five goals in the opening two league games for the youth side. [23] Goodwin made his return to the first-team four days later, scoring two goals in a 2–0 victory over Sydney FC, [24] and in doing so, became the youngest player to score a brace in the league. [21] [25] He made a further seven appearances under head coach Arthur Papas. [26]

Goodwin scored his third goal of the season in a 3–1 playoff victory over Perth Glory on 12 May 2022, helping Newcastle progress through to the Round of 32 in the 2022 Australia Cup. [27] He extended on a three-year contract with Newcastle Jets on 25 May 2022. [28] Amid Newcastle Jets' 2022–23 pre-season, Goodwin went through pre-season injury-free for the first time since joining the senior team. [29] He scored his first goal of the league season on 27 January 2023 in a 4–0 win against Brisbane Roar. [30] He scored his second in consecutive games a week later in a 2–2 draw with Perth Glory. [31] Within weeks after the match, Goodwin was ruled out with a back injury and a torn groin sustained after the international break. [32] [33] He eventually received surgery in May and returned to training full-time in early-June prior to the 2023 Australia Cup. [25] Under new coach Robert Stanton, [34] Goodwin scored in his return on 17 July 2023 in a cup win against Melbourne Victory. The Jets secured a 4–2 victory in the penalty shootout after a 2–2 draw in regular time. [35] [36] Goodwin was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the Australia Cup and the early 2023–24 A-League season after sustaining continuous spasms in his lower back. [37] Goodwin received two surgeries on his back and was absent for 14 weeks on the sideline. [38] Goodwin made his return to the first-team on 25 November 2023, scoring his first F3 Derby goal in a 3–1 league defeat to Central Coast Mariners in Gosford. [39] [40]

Adelaide United

On 6 June 2024, Goodwin signed for Adelaide United on a four year deal. [41]
