David McGoldrick, a Sheffield United cult legend, has departed Notts County after rejecting a new contract offer.
McGoldrick, a modern-day Blades hero, left Bramall Lane in 2022, having scored 30 goals in 136 games. Following a goal-laden 2022/23 season at Derby County, the clever forward joined Notts County.
He has been a talisman for the Magpies in League Two, but he has declined a third season offer at Meadow Lane.
David McGoldrick leaves Notts County. The club’s board of directors issued a statement saying, “While we’re obviously disappointed to be losing a player of David’s quality and character, he leaves having given us many fantastic memories over the last two years.”
“Everyone at Meadow Lane sincerely praises David for his captivating performances, amazing goals, leadership, and effort, even though we have been unable to come to an agreement this time.
“We wish him the best of luck in the next phase of his incredible career, and it was special to see him realise his dream of returning to Meadow Lane.”
The future of David McGoldrick
As a free agent, the 37-year-old, who also counts Sheffield Wednesday among his previous teams, is now able to choose a new team. Despite his advanced age, it is difficult to imagine the former Republic of Ireland player lacking supporters.
Supporters have conjectured that a transfer to Milton Keynes Dons, under the leadership of Paul Warne, his former Derby manager, might attract him.
David McGoldrick’s tenure at Sheffield United Prior to being offered the opportunity by Sheffield United in 2019, the forward had never participated in Premier League competition.
He has described the Blades as the “perfect club at the perfect time” and made an outstanding transition to life in the top division. “I enjoyed playing in the Premier League,” he said in an interview with The Sun in March. I happened to be in the ideal club at the ideal moment.
Although I was a link player and not a maverick, I was allowed to express myself. Even if I didn’t score in 25 games, I still had a significant impact on the squad and manager. Chris Wilder, the manager, never let me down, and the supporters encouraged me when I wasn’t scoring.
“I was playing some of the best football I’d ever played, thanks to the team and club’s support. They gave me the freedom to go out and enjoy myself.”
