Personal life

His brother Ciaran and cousin Niall Holly are also part of the Derry Panel and Youngest Brother Colm part of the U-21 Panel. His sisters play camogie for Derry. His sister Grainne was nominated for Camogie All Stars in both 2006[2] and 2008.[3]

Football career

Inter-county

McGoldrick was part of the Derry Minor side that won the 2002 Ulster Minor Championship and All-Ireland Minor Championship.[4] He was a member of the Derry Under-21 team that finished runners-up to Tyrone in the 2006 Ulster Under-21 Football Championship.[5]

McGoldrick was called up to the Derry Senior football panel in November 2005 for the 2006 season.[6] He started in Derry's opening 2006 Championship games against Tyrone and Donegal, but missed the Kildare and Longford games due to a broken hand.[7] He had an injury hit season in 2007,[8] but came back strongly in 2008 starting all Derry's National League games. He was part of the Derry team that won the 2008 National League where Derry beat Kerry in the final.[9][10]

McGoldrick and Derry also reached the National League final in 2009, but were defeated by Kerry.[11] He missed the final due to injury.[12] In that campaign he mostly played at centre half back, as opposed to his usual role in the forward line and has remained as a defender ever since. He has been named as the Derry captain for the 2011 season by new manager John Brennan.
