The Wellington Phoenix are thrilled to have brought Paul Gothard back to the club.
Gothard, commonly known throughout football as ‘Goffy’, has been appointed the Phoenix’s head of goalkeeping on a two-year contract.
As part of the club-wide role he will be the men’s goalkeeper and set piece coach for the upcoming Isuzu UTE A-League, replacing Dylan Cope.
Zero mention about what has happened with Dylan Cope. Goffy stepped in for him at the end of last season as he went away for some planned development work. Guess Greenacre wanted Goffy to stick around, what wouldn't be surprising as set pieces were about the only way we could scored at the end there.
