Career

Born in Stepney, London, Goodwin was a trainee at West Ham United, before signing for Dagenham & Redbridge in 1998. He scored the winning goal for Dagenham in a 2–1 victory over Doncaster Rovers after heading the ball in on 67 minutes in March 2001. He was sent off in a 0–0 draw with Doncaster in November after receiving a second yellow card after a late challenge on Neil Campbell. He suffered what was believed to be a metatarsal fracture in September 2002. He signed a new contract with Dagenham in December 2003, before signing a two-year contract in May 2004. He was ruled out for the remainder of the 2005–06 season after suffering a stress fracture of his leg in March 2006. He signed a new three-year contract in May. He made one appearance in the Football League for Dagenham, after being introduced as an 88th minute substitute against Mansfield Town on 3 May 2008. He retired from playing in July. In October 2010 he was awarded a testimonial by Dagenham. On 11 October Dagenham played a West Ham United XI at Victoria Road with The Hammers winning 3–2 in front of 2,267 spectators. He was a coach at Dagenham & Redbridge but was then appointed first-team coach with Thurrock. He became joint caretaker manager with Grant Gordon and then left the club at the end of May 2012 with the season complete.
