Club career

Goulon, in 2002, was selected to attend the famous Clairefontaine academy. After leaving the academy, he joined French champions Olympique Lyonnais. After spending a year in the reserves, playing in only 3 matches, he joined English side Middlesbrough agreeing to a three-year deal.[3][4] Despite the hype surrounding the signing by Middlesbrough and their supporters, including comparing the youngster to the likes of Patrick Vieira,[5] Goulon only featured in the reserves. After going through the duration of his contract, the English club released him, without the player ever playing a match in the Premier League.[6][not in citation given]

Goulon signed with Le Mans on the last day of the winter transfer window,[7] and made his league debut on 7 March 2009, in a match against Nancy coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute. The match ended in a 2–2 draw.

In late September 2010, it was revealed that Goulon, now a free agent, had begun a two-week trial with Premier League club Blackburn Rovers.[8]

On 22 October 2010, Goulon signed for Rovers on a two-year deal.[9] His time at Ewood Park was very unsuccessful, making just 4 league appearances and after a change of management at the club, it was indicated to Goulon that he would be free to talk to other clubs and surplus to requirements.[10] In May 2011, Goulon underwent a trial in Germany with Köln.[11]

On 23 November 2011, Goulon signed on loan for Doncaster Rovers until the end of January 2012.[12] He eventually returned to Blackburn after his loan spell ended without extending the loan deal.

On 4 July 2013 he signed contract with Zawisza Bydgoszcz.[13]

On 20 January 2015 he signed contract with AC Omonia.[14]

International career

On 25 May 2009, Goulon was called up, for the first time, to the France under-21 team to participate in the 2009 Toulon Tournament.[15] He made his debut in the tournament against Qatar on 5 June 2009.
