Club career

Wigan Athletic

Aged 17, Golobart signed for Wigan from Espanyol on 7 August 2009[1] as new manager Roberto Martinez identified him as a future talent.[2] Despite appearances in pre-season friendlies and on the substitutes bench, he failed to make a competitive appearance in his first two seasons at the club, and in August 2011 was loaned to Scottish Premier League side Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Inverness CT

On 19 August 2011, Golobart signed for Inverness on an initial six-month loan deal.[3] He made his debut the following day at Pittodrie against Aberdeen,[4] but was unaccustomed to the pace of Scottish football and made two significant errors during the match.[5] He scored his first goal for the club on 24 December 2011 in another match against Aberdeen.[6] After the game, Golobart expressed his desire to extend his loan spell at Inverness.[5]

International career

Golobart has represented Spain at under-17 level.[7]
