Born in Sydney in 1958, Gould played junior football with Wentworthville Leagues. Inter-District/Second Division/Metropolitan Cup During this period Wentworthville ("The Magpies" was the most successful club Graded by Penrith in 1976 he spent two years mostly in lower grades becoming a regular first grader in 1979. The Penrith Panthers is an Australian professional Rugby league football team Following retirement of Penrith's British import star Mike Stephenson, Gould was selected as captain at age 20, becoming the youngest New South Wales Rugby League premiership captain since Dave Brown led Easts in the 1930s. New South Wales Rugby League premiership was the first Rugby league football club competition established in Australia David Michael Brown (born on the 4th of April 1913 in Kogarah New South Wales, died on the 23rd of February 1974 in Sydney) was one of Australia 1979 marked the beginning of injury troubles for Gould which ultimately kept him on the sidelines for most of 1980 and which recurred later in his career.
Gould moved to Newtown Rugby League Football Club in 1981 where Warren Ryan was still honing his innovative coaching approach that transformed the way that top grade rugby league would be played in Australia throughout the next decade. The Newtown Jets (formerly the Newtown "Bluebags") are a former first grade Rugby league club who departed the New South Wales Rugby Football League Warren Ryan is an Australian former Rugby league player (he played centre and a highly regarded former coach who enjoyed considerable success in the 1980s After being also-rans for many years a turnaround was achieved when Newtown in 1981 made the Grand Final against Parramatta, though losing 20-11.

The Bulldogs Rugby League Football Club (formerly Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and "The Berries") are an Australian professional Rugby league Ted Glossop (born in Sydney) was an Australian Rugby league footballer and coach By now Gould had become regarded as an astute ball playing forward. Years of playing "smart" to avoid further eye damage had tuned his ball distribution and organising skills. In 1984 under Warren Ryan at Canterbury, Gould was expected to be selected for City 1sts. He broke his ankle the afternoon before selection announcements and didn't get back to first grade before season end, taking no part in the club's 6-4 Grand Final win over Parramatta.
Injuries also took a toll on Gould's 1985 season with Canterbury. He played 14 first grade games and captained the reserve grade side into the semi-finals.

The Blues were victorious for the next three series. In 1995 at the start of the Super League war, Gould's NSW side lost 3-0 to the Paul Vautin-coached team of unknowns patched together from the ranks of Queenlanders loyal to the ARL.

On the club front Gould had been lured away from Penrith by the Sydney City Roosters in 1995 at a stage when that once high flying club was continually dwelling at the bottom of the ladder. The Sydney Roosters is a professional Rugby league club based in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia. A long rebuilding phase followed under Gould enabling them to make some quality signings, one of the most important being Brad Fittler the champion five eighth/centre who had an association with Gould at Penrith and with the NSW Blues.
