Morgan Leonard Gould (born 23 March 1983) is a South African international footballer who plays professionally for Sekhukhune United as a defender.
Born in Soweto, Gould began his senior career with Jomo Cosmos in 2001, before moving to Supersport United in 2008. He signed for Kaizer Chiefs in May 2012.[1]
Gould was signed to Chiefs in July 2012 for R8.4million. He made his debut on 5 August 2012 against Mamelodi Sundowns losing 4-1.[2] He scored his first goal against student outfit Bidvest Wits in the Nedbank Cup winning 3-0 with him scoring the second goal in 49th from a header from the near post. In the first half Siboniso Gaxa also scored his first goal for Chiefs. Earlier that day Orlando Pirates lost 4-1 to SAFA Second Division student outfit, Maluti FET College.[3] He went to play only nine games and 721 minutes in the 2012-13 season due to an achilles tendon surgery and a knee injury only recovering in pre-season.[4]
In July 2016, Gould made his return to Supersport United, to be reunited with his former Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter. He made his first start in a league match of the PSL Absa Premiership 2016–2017 season, in a 1-0 loss to Platinum Stars.
Gould made his international debut for South Africa in 2008, and was a squad member at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup.[5]
