Club career
editEarly career and Wigan Athletic
editBorn in Ipswich, Suffolk to parents Tony and Tania,[2] Golden moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, United States in 2000. Golden moved back to Ipswich, England in 2008 and spent a year with Ipswich Town alongside his brother Deven.[3] After spells with Manchester City, Rochdale and Blackburn Rovers, Golden joined Wigan Athletic in 2014, and was included as a substitute for the senior team for the first time for a match against Scunthorpe United in October 2017.[4] He made his first-team debut during their EFL Trophy tie against Middlesbrough U23s later in the month, setting up a goal for mentor Noel Hunt in a 4–1 victory.[5] Golden signed his first professional contract in April 2018.[6] In 2019, he had spells on loan at Droylsden,[7] where he made four appearances,[8] and Nantwich Town[9] before being released by Wigan at the end of June 2020.[10]
Salford City
editOn 31 August 2020, it was announced that Golden had joined the development squad of League Two side Salford City.[11] He made his competitive début for the club on 9 September in an EFL Trophy game against Manchester United Under-21s.[12] Golden made his Football League début on 26 September, playing the whole match and helping to keep a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw against Forest Green Rovers,[13] and he received praise from manager Graham Alexander for his "flawless" performance.[14]
On 22 February 2021, Golden joined National League side Notts County on a one-month loan deal.[15] He made only one appearance for County, against Oxford City in the FA Trophy, where he scored an own-goal and was criticised for his performance by County fans.[16] During the match, Golden suffered an injury and eventually returned to Salford at the end of April without playing another match.[17]
He was released by Salford at the end of the 2021–22 season.[18]
FC Halifax Town
editIn July 2022 he signed for FC Halifax Town.[19]
Style of play
editFormer Salford manager Graham Alexander has described him as a player who sticks to his defensive tasks but who enjoys going forward and being directly involved in the game,[14] as well as showing the "right enthusiasm and attitude towards the game".[20] Neal Ardley, his manager at Notts County, said he was a player who would "run up and down that line as much as he physically can" and that he is "physically robust, puts himself about and defends for his life".[21]
