Gollant made his league debut in the final home and away round of the 2021 AFL season. In the first Showdown of 2022, Gollant kicked a career best four goals in Adelaide's after-the-siren win over Port Adelaide. [3]

For the second consecutive year, Gollant was Adelaide's leading goalkicker in the SANFL in 2024.

[4] Gollant's performance was rewarded with a promotion to the AFL squad in round 23, replacing the injured Taylor Walker. [5]
