Playing career

Inter-county

McGoldrick was part of the Derry Minor side that won the 2002 Ulster Minor Championship and All-Ireland Minor Championship. [1]

He was first called up to the Derry Senior panel in November 2005 for the 2006 season, after impressive performances for Bellaghy en route to the Ulster Senior Club Championship final. [2]

He established himself as a "first class corner-back" in Derry's run to the 2007 All-Ireland Championship quarter-final. [3] A troublesome hamstring injury however, meant he played very little football in 2008. [3]

McGoldrick is currently traveling around Australia [3] [4] and will definitely miss some of the 2009 season. The Irish News has reported he will stay for a year. [3]
