The 33-year-old centre-back joins the Cypriot club after leaving city rivals Aris Limassol by mutual consent, bringing an end to his two-year spell there.

Goldson made 62 appearances for Aris across all competitions, scoring three goals and playing a key role in their 2024–25 campaign as they finished second in the league.

He was also named in the Cyprus League Team of the Season that year and served as one of the club’s captains during the 2025–26 season.
