BIO

I am 19 years old and I am a footballer playing out of the west of Ireland at the moment looking for a club to match my growing career. I’m a midfielder/winger with a hunger to get started in the professional game. I offer an abundance of pace, an eye for a pass and an engine to dribble forward and move my team up the pitch.

Testimonial

I have coached Olan Goulding during his youth soccer years at Strand Celtic FC . During this time Olan was a great contributor to our success. Our coaching team would describe Olan as a very hard-working player who always was prepared on time for training and matches. In training and in matches he gave 100% for his teammates and coaches from the first minutes to the last minute. We also found that he was easy to communicate with asking coaches how he could improve his game and taking on board our suggestions.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Olan to any team coach for selection and wish him all success in his development in soccer. (Darren Finan – Strand Celtic FC Youth Coach)

Olan is a dynamic young talent whose pace and versatility make him a constant threat, whether deployed at full back or on the wing. His speed allows him to unsettle defenders and drive the team forward into dangerous attacking positions. Committed to honing his craft, Olan trains daily on the pitch, showcasing a great work ethic and dedication to elevating both his skills and tactical understanding. His hunger to improve and ability to spark attacks make him an exciting asset for any side.
