Club career

Wigan Athletic

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, 17-year-old Golobart signed for Wigan Athletic from RCD Espanyol on 7 August 2009 as new manager Roberto Martínez identified him as a future talent.[1] Despite appearances in pre-season friendlies and on the substitutes bench, he failed to play a competitive match in his first two seasons at the club, and in August 2011 was loaned to Scottish Premier League side Inverness Caledonian Thistle for six months.[2] He made his debut the following day at Pittodrie against Aberdeen,[3] but was unaccustomed to the pace of Scottish football and made two significant errors during the 1–2 away loss.[4]

Golobart scored his first goal for Inverness on 24 December 2011, also against Aberdeen but now in a 2–1 home win.[5] After the game he expressed his desire to extend his loan spell, making his last appearance for the club in a 2–0 success over Hibernian.

On 31 August 2012, Golobart joined Tranmere Rovers on a one-month loan deal.[6] He made his debut a day later in a 4–0 win against Colchester United, but failed to play again for his new team following Ash Taylor's early return from injury.[7]

Golobart played his first match for Wigan on 5 January 2013, in the third round of the FA Cup against Bournemouth.[8] He made his Premier League debut for the Latics that same month, starting at Stoke City in a 2–2 draw.[9]

1. FC Köln

At the end of the 2012–13 season, Golobart turned down a new deal with Wigan and signed a three-year contract with 1. FC Köln.[10] He made his debut in the 2. Bundesliga on 20 July 2013, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Dynamo Dresden.[11]

In February 2015, Golobart was loaned to Erzgebirge Aue also in the German second level for the remainder of the campaign.[12]

International career

Golobart represented Spain at under-17 level. His first cap came in a 1–1 draw with England.[13]

Personal life

Golobart's father, Joan, was also a footballer. He also represented Espanyol, but at senior level.

Golobart shares his birthdate with fellow Espanyol youth graduate Jordi Amat.[14]
