But he now has the chance to move to the other side of the world - an opportunity which, literally, has come out of the blue.
McGoldrick said: “I was contacted a few weeks ago to see if I would be interested in working full time with Manchester City.
“I was then told the job would be overseas developing young talent and it looks like the posting could be in China. It is a programme that sounds really interesting.”
