Club career

VfL Wolfsburg II

Goransch moved to VfL Wolfsburg in 2007 from VfB Fallersleben[3] and played in the youth ranks until 2018, where he was promoted to the club reserve team, VfL Wolfsburg II.[4] However, he was not able to play any games for the reserve team due to injuries and left the club at the end of 2019.[3]

Club América

On 22 January 2020, América included Goransch in their official roster for Clausura 2020. Although born in Mexico, he was registered as a footballer "Not Formed in Mexico" since he never played in the lower tiers of the Mexican football league system.[5] The following day, Club América coach Miguel Herrera announced that even though Goransch was included in the first team roster, he will be loaned to an Ascenso MX team due to his status as a non-Mexican under Liga MX statutes.[6]

Loan to Zacatepec

On 30 January, Goransch joined Zacatepec on loan from América for the remainder of the Ascenso MX Clausura 2020 season. [7]
