Jack Connor Goodman (born 21 March 2005) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Matlock Town on loan from EFL League Two club Doncaster Rovers.
Career[edit]
Doncaster Rovers[edit]
Goodman graduated from The Holgate Academy.[2] He joined Notts County at under-8 level, but dropped out at under-13 level to play with Hucknall Sports.[3] He rejoined Notts County in 2021, but elected to take up a scholarship at Doncaster Rovers.[3] He made his first-team debut at the age of sixteen, having come on as an 87th-minute substitute for Joe Dodoo in a 3–2 win at Scunthorpe United in the EFL Trophy; this made him the seventh youngest person in history to play for the club.[3] He scored eighteen goals for the youth-team in the 2021–22 campaign and scored five goals in one afternoon in July 2022.[4] He made his home first-team debut at the Eco-Power Stadium on 9 August 2022, in a 3–0 defeat to Lincoln City in the EFL Cup; manager Gary McSheffrey said Goodman was "the positive for the night".[5]
On 26 December 2022, he joined Stamford of the Northern Premier League Division One Midlands on loan.[6]
Goodman made his league debut on 3 April 2023, coming on as a half time substitute in Doncaster's home match against Crewe Alexandra.[7]
On 23 July 2023, Goodman signed for Gainsborough Trinity on loan for the 2023–24 season,[8] however he was recalled just one month into the season.[9] In February 2024, he joined Matlock Town on loan until the end of the season.[10]
