Career

Youth and college

Goodrum played four years of college soccer at the University of North Carolina Wilmington between 2016 and 2019, where he made 76 appearances, scoring 32 goals and tallied 15 assists.[1]

While at college, Goodrum appeared for USL PDL sides North Carolina Fusion U23,[2][3] Wilmington Hammerheads[4] and Brazos Valley Cavalry.[5]

Professional

On January 13, 2020, Goodrum was selected 75th overall in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft by Atlanta United.[6] After signing with the club's USL Championship side Atlanta United 2, he then signed a short-term deal with the first team ahead of their upcoming CONCACAF Champions League game.[7]

On January 14, 2022, Goodrum returned to his home state of Tennessee, signing with Memphis 901.[8] Following the 2022 season, Goodrum had offers from clubs in MLS and Europe, but the club opted to retain him for the 2023 season, causing Goodrum to claim he was "devastated" to still be there.[9] On May 22, 2023, Goodrum was traded to FC Tulsa in exchange for Rodrigo da Costa.[10]
