Goding started his VFL career at Melbourne, for the inaugural league season in 1897.[2] He joined South Melbourne in 1899 and was a centre half-back in their team which lost that year's grand final.[3] From 1901 he played as a forward. In his first season up forward he kicked 19 goals, finishing one goal behind Harry Lampe in the South Melbourne goal-kicking.[3] He equaled that tally in 1902 and kicked another 10 goals in 1903, winning the club's goal-kicking award on each occasion.[3]

His sole representative match came in 1901, when he appeared for the VFL against South Australia.[4]

He also played for Essendon Association in the Victorian Football Association, after leaving South Melbourne.[5]
