The 20-year-old is waiting to hear whether he will be offered a new contract at the Greenhous Meadow.

He headed the opening goal in the 3-2 victory over Portsmouth and hopes his form on returning to the starting line-up after Easter will help seal his future.

Goldson said: "I was really pleased because it's my first goal, although Jon Taylor put it on a plate for me. I have managed to play 15 games this season and I was happy to finish with a goal.

"It's been a bit of a rollercoaster for me this season. A few months ago I wouldn't have believed that I would be in the team and scoring a goal at this stage.

"I want to stay at the club as I have been here for a long time."

Joe Jacobson and loan striker Akwasi Asante were also on the target before demoted Portsmouth hit back with two late efforts.

Goldson said: "I wanted a clean sheet too after keeping two in the last couple of games.

"That wasn't to be but we've got back-to-back victories, which was a good way to finish. We'll take that into next season."
