Goulding played for St Helens in the Rugby League Premiership and the Super League. He also played for Wigan, Leeds, Widnes, Huddersfield Giants, Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, Salford City Reds, Leigh Centurions, Rochdale Hornets and Australian side Eastern Suburbs

Goulding represented England at the 1995 Rugby League World Cup. He gained 17 caps for Great Britain.

Goulding's usual position was as at scrum-half.

He is currently not in work as a coach after leaving his post at Rochdale Hornets in November 2005, citing frustration at the club's financial problems. During his two seasons in charge at the National League One club he had not had a proper contract, despite impressing and twice being nominated for coach of the year.

As a player he most famously captained St Helens in their double year of 1996.

He joined Rochdale initially as player-coach, and his playing career ended in 2005 after a biceps injury.
