Román Golobart Benet (born 21 March 1992) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Cypriot club Nea Salamis Famagusta FC as a central defender.
Club career
[edit]Wigan Athletic
[edit]Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, 17-year-old Golobart signed for Wigan Athletic from RCD Espanyol on 7 August 2009 as new manager Roberto Martínez identified him as a future talent.[1] Despite appearances in pre-season friendlies and on the substitutes bench, he failed to play a competitive match in his first two seasons at the club, and in August 2011 was loaned to Scottish Premier League side Inverness Caledonian Thistle for six months.[2] He made his debut the following day at Pittodrie against Aberdeen,[3] but was unaccustomed to the pace of Scottish football and made two significant errors during the 1–2 away loss.[4]
Golobart scored his first goal for Inverness on 24 December 2011, also against Aberdeen but now in a 2–1 home win.[5] Shortly before the game he had expressed a desire to extend his loan spell,[6] which eventually befell under manager Terry Butcher, with the pair having previously been engaged in a heated discussion during training, and he made his last appearance for the club in a 1–0 away victory over St Mirren, also winning the Young Player of the Year award.[7]
On 31 August 2012, Golobart joined Tranmere Rovers on a one-month loan deal.[8] He made his debut a day later in a 4–0 win against Colchester United,[9] but failed to play again for his new team following Ash Taylor's early return from injury.[10]
Golobart played his first match for Wigan on 5 January 2013, in the third round of the FA Cup against Bournemouth.[11] He made his Premier League debut for the Latics that same month, starting at Stoke City in a 2–2 draw.[12]
FC Köln
[edit]At the end of the 2012–13 season, Golobart turned down a new deal with Wigan and signed a three-year contract with 1. FC Köln.[13] He made his debut in the 2. Bundesliga on 20 July 2013, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Dynamo Dresden.[14]
In February 2015, Golobart was loaned to FC Erzgebirge Aue also in the German second division for the remainder of the campaign.[15]
Return to Spain
[edit]On 21 August 2015, Golobart returned to his homeland, signing a one-year deal with the option of a second at third-tier club Racing de Ferrol,[16] contributing two goals from 36 appearances as they reached the play-offs. The following 23 July, he transferred to fellow league team Real Murcia.[17]
After the latter's defeat to Valencia CF Mestalla in the playoffs, Golobart joined Elche CF in June 2017.[18] In November, his club warned him over controversial online comments relating to the political unrest in his native region.[19] The following January, having rescinded his contract at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero, he moved to Mérida AD also from division three.[20]
