Club career
Early years
Goode began his youth career as a forward, before being moved back through midfield to right back.[3] After a spell with hometown club Watford, he joined the Fulham Academy at the age of 10 and was released at age 16 in 2012.[3][4] Goode dropped into non-League football and after a season with Harefield United U18,[5][6] he gained his first experience of senior football with Hadley, A.F.C. Hayes and Hendon between 2013 and 2015.[3][7] He was a part of the 2014–15 Hendon squad which reached the Isthmian League Premier Division play-off final and won the 2014–15 London Senior Cup.[8][9] A growth spurt during the 2014–15 season saw Goode move from right back to central defence.[10]
Scunthorpe United
On 10 June 2015, Goode joined League One club Scunthorpe United on a free transfer and signed a two-year contract, with the option of a further year.[11] He failed to fully establish himself during four seasons at Glanford Park and by the time of his departure in July 2019,[10][12] he had made 85 appearances and scored six goals.[13]
Northampton Town (loan and permanent transfer)
As a result of falling down the pecking order at Scunthorpe United,[12] on 31 January 2019, Goode joined League Two club Northampton Town on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season.[14] During what remained of the season, he made 17 appearances and signed a three-year contract with the club for an undisclosed fee on 3 July 2019.[15][16] Goode was named team captain for the 2019–20 season and made 45 appearances and scored four goals during a campaign which culminated in promotion to League One,[17][18] after victory in the 2020 League Two play-off Final.[19] He was voted the club's 2019–20 Supporters' Player of the Year, was named in the League Two PFA Team of the Year and was nominated for the September and October 2019 PFA Fans' Player of the Month awards.[20][21][22][23] On 18 August 2020, Goode departed Northampton Town for a club-record fee.[24] During 18 months at Sixfields, he made 62 appearances and scored four goals.[13]
Brentford
On 18 August 2020, Goode transferred to Championship club Brentford for an undisclosed fee and signed a four-year contract, with the option of a further year.[7] Competing with Mads Bech Sørensen for third place in the centre back pecking order,[25] Goode played sparingly during the opening months of the 2020–21 season.[26] After a period out with illness,[27] he returned to match play in mid-December 2020,[26] but then spent another period out of the team in January 2021.[28]
International career
Goode was capped once by England C, as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 friendly victory over Republic of Ireland U21 on 1 June 2015.[29]
Personal life
Goode's father and brother Ben also became footballers.[3][30] He is an Arsenal supporter.[3] Goode attended Bushey Meads School and during his career in non-League football,[31] he worked in his family's business, installing electric blinds.[4]
