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.

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. 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.

Supersport United
