[edit] Playing career
David was originally with Notts County’s youth squad and made four appearances in League Two for the club's first team at the end of the 2003-04 season.
He was snapped up by Southampton and joined their academy in the summer of 2004.
He was a member of Southampton's youth team that reached the final of the FA Youth Cup in 2005, losing on aggregate to Ipswich Town.
A powerfully built youngster with an assured touch he can finish and create chances, and forms an excellent link between the midfield and forwards.
At the start of the 2005-06 season he made his Saints debut as a substitute in the 1-0 Carling cup defeat against Mansfield, and also returned to Notts County for a brief spell to gain more first team experience. Although he failed to score in that stay, this was a mere blip in what was otherwise a phenomenal season, which saw him score 44 goals for the Saints’ Reserves and Under-18 teams, including a hat-trick in the Under-18s play-off final in which Saints beat Aston Villa 3-2.
He also netted 3 goals over the two legs of the FA Youth Cup semi-final against Liverpool to earn a call-up to the first team, making his club league debut at home to Millwall.
It remains to be seen if he can transfer his amazing goalscoring rate when he appears regularly in the first team.
On 16 February 2007, he joined Football League One team Bournemouth on a one-month loan and scored his first goal against Oldham Athletic in a 2-1 victory.[1]. On 23 March the loan was extended until the end of the season, but on 23 April Southampton recalled McGoldrick as cover following several injuries to first team players.[2]
On 31 August 2007, he joined Port Vale on loan until January.[3]
